Hard to say, maybe use a 6-7wt for that part of the smokey as it is really flowing fast and maybe a bit high there still, i fell in well wading across there and almost got swept downstream which would have been a nice cool off, keep in mind i only weight 148pounds so i am light, saw some bear tracks in the area as well so keep that in mind as well, here are some pictures of the area.

I came down from the area yesterday. We were out back on the Isogun which was great when dry. The Bigstone should be in even better shape assuming it doesn't get rained on too much, but even then it should be ok. Not sure about the river though. Good luck.

we kayaked down from first bigstone bridge to north tony bridge on weekend and river is still a bit high for sure but is clearing everyday just mostly stained. Road was bumpy as usual but no worse than normal.

50-70mm of rain for this neck of the woods tonight and into tomorrow. Might raise the level some.
