BLITZEN RIVER: Redband trout, carp

The Blitzen River is currently flowing between 300 and 500 cfs. Expect flows to change daily depending on the weather this time of year. Dry fly fishing will pick up right now during periods of good water clarity. During periods of high runoff try fishing the Blitzen upstream of the Little Blitzen confluence or Bridge Cree. Spinners and other artificial lures should also work well when the water is high and off color. Last updated 6/5/2025
