There's been lots of rain in that area. Attached is a flow chart for Brown Creek which is fairly close to the Blackstone.

I would imagine Blackstone and Shunda running very high right now.

Blackstone. I've fished both about a year ago. Hated the Shunda. Didn't catch a thing. Blackstone is much better!

did the blackstone 3 weeks ago and fishing was good but not great. Water was relatively clear and a bit low.

I was out on the Blackstone 2 weeks ago. River wasn't too high, but wasn't overly clear. Fishing was average, certainly not the best days I've had on the river, but certainly not the worst.

As for Shunda.....it's not my thing. Never managed to catch a thing out of that creek. Fish are extra spooky in there because it's so still.

As of Thursday last week, the Blackstone was high and muddy, maybe 6" visibility.

On Saturday, Shunda was high but pretty clear (several feet visibility) at the Harlech bridge.
