little smokey, shunda fly fishing?

[amorton]

Has anyone been fly fishing on the little smokey or shunda yet this season? I'd like to go this weekend, just not sure what conditions are like. Thanks.

The snowpack in the mountains is really really high this year. The Smokey will be blowing out.

Shunda is spring fed. You don't have to worry.

As Grey said. The LSR is pretty high right now. Shunda would be almost a sure thing.

Cool, thanks.

The little Smoky originates from east of highway 40 and therefore is not affected by mountain snowpack and runoff. Give it a couple rain free days and the LSR should be good to go. Usually the LSR up in the headwaters (Grande Cache) area is clear in mid May depending on local snow.
