South Fork, June 19th, 2021

PMDs and green drakes are beginning to appear on the lower river. So fish their life cycle patterns there, the same for PM caddis throughout, and do not overlook presenting nymph patterns through riffles..The appearance of these mayflies is an indication that the big stone fly appearance is “imminent.” With flows being near historic averages throughout the river, this event could be one not to miss,(for now keep on presenting rubber leg patterns as the big nymphs are starting to migrate towards banks). Consider that with a relatively small number of visits currently on the river, it remains a tranquil alternative to the masses fishing the Henry’s Fork. That will change when the big stone flies appear in number. Also consider that flows will eventually increase as irrigation demands intensify.
