South Fork 10-5-09

Blue Wing Olives are in full swing on the South Fork! With this weather expect hatches to come off in the afternoons in the slow moving water. Trout will be sipping the BWO’s so look carefully for those noses. Streamers will continue to pick up as we get more into the fall. Nymphing is also working well. Rubberlegs with your favorite beadhead dropper. I personally like the tungsten zebra midge in a size 16 or 18. I also like a size 18 pheasant tail.

Flows have dropped down to 4500 cfs. Remember that winter flows will be around 1700 cfs: expect that around the end of October to mid November. With the flows at 4500 wading is very accessible throughout the entire river. Call the shop if you have any questions or want an up to the minute report.
