Below are links to the current CFS (Cubic Feet per Second) of Washington rivers we guide and spend time on. We have provided a general guideline for the water levels we look for on each of these rivers to help determine whether or not we should be fly fishing them, can we do so safely and where. There is some subjectivity to these benchmarks so if you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to call, email or stop in the store and ask. We are happy to assist you in making the right decision.
