With the storm that's passing, I would head up to the Smith about a hour and 30 minute drive but could produce a good salmon, stop by the mad river tackle shop in arcata its off the 1264 Giuntoli Ln exit and ask how the smith is doing. Really early for the Mad, but there is possibly some salmon in there but that's all catch and release. And yeah your probably gonna have low flow still, looks like only one day of good flows with this storm that is about to hit and even then not a great rain that is needed to really get the rivers pumping. you want the flows a constant 16 and its barely hitting 16, but these fish want in bad, there all sitting at the mouth just waiting so this will easily push a good 3000-4000 into the lower river.
