San Miguel

(800-1,000 cfs below Placerville) The San Miguel is on its way to a high and long runoff period. Hovering around 800cfs below Placerville, flows will go much higher as soon as warmer weather arrives. The South Fork and Town Fork have been marginally fishable following cloudy days, but expect these to blow out soon and remain unfishable until late June, at earliest. During this period, fish Trout Lake, Priest Lake, Miramonte, Ridgway Reservoir and other stillwaters in our region. Tributary creeks each have unique runoff schedules based upon elevation and aspect, so check your favorites periodically for water clarity and be ready to break out your 3-weight.
