Not sure how much channel changing you will find after the river drop.

While a flow at Goldbar over 60,000 is a significant event it was hardly a major flood. Over the last 25 years there have been a half dozen floods that were significantly larger than this weeks. Included in that period was the huge event in November of 2006. That 2006 event had twice the volume of water and was nearly 6.5 feet higher than the one this week.

Regardless this flood this week could hardly been timed worst for the basin's chums. Much of this years spawn would have been in their most "tender" stage where even the slightest jostling causing mortalities.

Hmmm good point on the chum. Definitely didnt think of that. Friend of mine lives at the mouth of the wallas and said the far bank accross the river had moved a bit below the side channel. Havent seen it myself yet.
