The north Sound rivers (snow melt fed) are not faring much better than the Chehalis. While not at 2015 lows the current conditions are concerning. This morning flows on the Sauk at Sauk was 2800 cfs (36% of the historic mean - 7,760).

Things are sitting up for both salmon fry straying and steelhead redd dewatering. All ready seeing fry trapped in dewatered channels. Steelhead peak fry emergences still more than a month away and the river is currently 3.5 feet lower than when the peak spawning occurred.
