New to the American River and was wondering if the current flows are fishable this weekend. :idea:

I would say no at 7,000 cfs.........
I just got informed by the 'governor' that the release will be down to 5,000 cfs by Tuesday, April 5th.
This is fishable but be very careful.
I like under 3,000 myself with 2,000 my favorite for wading with a 28" inseam.

With these stronger flows, where's a safe spot? Goethe, Sailors Bar, Sunrise???

There are no "safe spots" , regardless of flow - try upper Sunrise . Please remember to not take chances . Getting "rolled" in the river is terrifying at best , and fatal at worst . You can high-stick below the hatcherey without gettin' the water . Hope ya nail a few and stay dry - David

You might want to consider that the safest places to wade may not be accessible as the parking lots may still be flooded..... :? For example, You could easily park a Upper Rossmor Bar but probably won't be able to wade there. :( :(
On the other hand, you may not be able to park at lower Rossmor Bar or wade..... :roll: Parts of Goethe Park may be OK to park and wade..... 8)
If you don't have a boat, Fishing/wading at these river levels is mainly for commando's like David...... :P :P :P
