**Please be careful when fishing higher flows. The Big Streamer flows listed above generally involve higher more dangerous flows and cloudy water. DO NOT wade in flows you are not comfortable with and DO NOT wade in higher flows in creeks you are NOT familiar with. The high flows can and will move you unexpectedly and you can easily trip and fall on unseen underwater features in cloudily water in which you are unfamiliar with the bottom features. Wading in higher flows can easily result in injury and possible drowning death. Please do not assume these risks if you are not experienced. ALWAYS use a personal floatation vest. And, ALWAYS fish with a buddy in these conditions. Campbell Outdoors assumes no responsibility for your fishing decisions.
