The flows on the Low Sho have stabilized and the clarity is 2-3 feet. The river is in great shape for the time being.

5-Day Outlook as of 5/5/25
The river should fish very well this week while the weather is cool. Once temperatures climb, runoff will begin and the river will become a muddy mess
Techniques & Tips as of 5/5/25
Nymphs fished under an indicator and streamers have been the most consistent trout producers. Look for heads up on caddis during overcast days.
