South Fork, July 3rd, 2024

Flow has been stable and near normal for almost a week. That’s good news for fly fishing. Big stoneflies are going up the river and so are green drakes and PMDs.  So the river is coming into season. That means traffic at boat launch facilities and at favored locations along the river.  Gone are the high flows and cold, even turbid water. Now crowds come to enjoy the river; not only anglers, but recreationists, adventurers and sightseers.  So tolerance of other forms of recreation are in order as well as some great fishing along the entire river below Palisades Dam.
