Today at Jimmys 10/4

I’m back! Today is my first day back at the shop and I am really excited to be here. If you have been keeping track of Today at Jimmy’s you should have noticed the lack of post this summer. That’s because I do the majority of the Today at Jimmy posts and I have been gone this summer dodging hooks and shoveling water. I had a great summer the fishing was really good on the South Fork this summer. I saw some really nice fish caught this summer and I saw some really nice fish not get caught this summer. Come down to the shop and say hello, I am excited to see you all this fall.

South Fork 10/4

Flows remain steady on the South Fork, and the lack of frost is keeping the terrestrials moving around on the bank. I like the hopper with a nymph dropper system for pounding the banks. Mahogany and Blue Wing Olives on the riffles and the banks as well. Nymph fishing is picking up as well and so is the streamer fishing in the mornings and late afternoons into the evening. This is a great time to fish the South Fork, lots of spots to wade the river and small crowds. Look for fish to be schooled up in buckets below riffles, and back eddys. Look for cloudy nasty weather and the fishing will be really good.
