I saw the Blacksmith down lower today and it looked pretty high. Probably some fishable areas, but definitely wouldn't want to wade it.

Spoke to an angler yesterday who told me he normally fly fishes the Logan, but since it was too high - he came down to try a community pond. Can be fun practice - with fresh stockings.
I'd heard the let off from Porcupine was really clear. Saw some episodes of fishn shows where they'd jig plastics UP rapid runnoffs, and drop down through the seems.
I hit a spot across from the Ropes course below first dam last spring - pitched some spinners, and minnow swimbaits, and was getting hits. Hard to land them when you have to retrieve across that hard current. But - tugs.
I'm sure you could still work the dam areas. Good luck.

I fished Blacksmith Fork today, the river is pretty dang high and muddy. I had the best luck up on the dam. Didn't see any bugs on top but it was pretty cold and rainy all day. I caught about a dozen in an hour, nothing big, all browns between 12-14 inches. Size 20-22 nymphs was what worked for me, pretty weird they can see semething that small in that colored what. I tried fishing a few spots on the river but it was pretty dang tough. Logan River is high and muddy as well, I fished second dam and didn't do anything, went up to third and landed 6 fish in an hour as well, all the same size though.
