Conditions

Post-runoff, the Big Wood is in excellent shape with summer temperatures climbing and water levels running several hundred cfs. Wading is solid in most areas, though stay alert around deeper sections. Little Yellow Stones, Green Drakes, Western Quills, and large Golden Stones are active, match them to what's happening on the water.
