The definitive source for real-time and historic flow information, including text, graphs, and maps, is the California Data Exchange Center. Every fly fisher should bookmark this site. If you would like to know if a river is fishable at a certain flow, your best source is to ask folks on the board. This is where their experience on fishing different conditions can be invaluable.

Legal Fishing Access and Property Rights

Written by Chuck O.

Yes, if the stream is "navigable" and if you can get to the stream without tresspassing (e.g., by accessing it at a bridge). All portions of the stream and streambed below the "normal" high-water marks are public property which cannot be restricted by private parties. A member of the board, Rich P, did some research on this and posted his findings. The The National Rivers Website is also an excellent resource regarding river rights.

For answers to these and all other questions about fishing regulations, see the California fishing regulations booklet available wherever you got your license. Conveniently, the regulations are also available online. Read them carefully. Heed them.
