Conditions

As of September 4, flows at Cabinet Gorge were running 16,100 cfs and rising—well above normal for this time of year. Dam releases are driving much-above seasonal levels, making for challenging conditions on the water. Overcast skies and cool temps (high 62°F) won't save you from the push; this is a tough window to fish right now.

Gauges

Safety

High water and strong current from dam releases make wading hazardous. Exercise caution.
