If present weather conditions continue (very little snowpack) I'd
plan on late in May or even a bit earlier....

I heard on the radio today that Oregon has between 19% and 23% of the normal

level is going up to 10,000 feet and it will be raining this weekend melting
even more. Since the John is not a tailwater fishery and the levels are at
the mercy of the farmers, snowpack and rainfall, we may be in for some
challenges for out trip in June.

We may want to aim for a date as early in June as possible if the snow
situation stays the same. Although late May, early June is the most
crowded time of year (even in normal years, hard boats have a hard time
much later than that), it may be best to err on the side of caution...
