South Fork, July 5th, 2024

The South Fork has arrived as a primary fly fishing location, and its waters are where they should be for this time of the season with respect to clarity, flow amount, and temperature. That means giant, golden and isoperla stone flies, green drake and PMD mayfly hatches advancing up the river and caddis activity prevailing during late afternoons. So the South Fork will have a surge in fly fishing interest compared to that currently happening on the Henry’s Fork because of peaking South Fork aquatic insect activity and warming of Henry’s Fork waters. Whether you wade at select locations or fish from a boat, expect that great weather will also bring out recreation boaters in addition to action-seeking fly fishers.

Be tolerant of boat inspection actions, and understand that reasons for such are to protect the agricultural and sport fishing industries.
