Tough thing to predict really:
As compared to last year we are having an average snowpack year:
1) Sunshine snowpack ( Pretty much average)

2) Little Elbow Peak (at the higher end of average)

The snowpack wasnt the only problem though last year. In June-ish we had that huge cycle of rain followed by warm temps which meant a lot of melting.
With this years snowpack the best that we can hope for is a long period of growing temperatures so that the snowpack melts at consistent rate.
But who am I kidding, some of the best fishing I had last year was in high water. Fish have no where to go but to the bank, which makes finding them extremely easy.
The one thing however, I found the stonefly hatch never REALLY happened with all of that high water. Also just as the spring caddis hatch was beginning (and it was crazy, huge clouds at some points) it seemed to peter out when the high water sustained for a long period.
So hopefully we will see a better year in that regards.
