South Fork, July 24th, 2024

Water flow out of Palisades Dam has been dropped step-wise from 12000 cfs on July 19^th  to about 9600 cfs.  This is around 10-15 per cent below normal for this time of the season. This brings more wading opportunities along the river. Still there is plenty of quality water for fish. Fishing success can be a bit spotty, so it is a bit of a challenge to find where fish are foraging on such as caddis flies, golden stones, PMDs and other forms.  That is the advantage of float-fishing compared to wading.

Flies to fish:

• Will’s Circus Peanut UV Purple
• Keegan’s Stacked PM Double D
• Dornan’s Water Walker Golden
• Harrop’s CDC Bubble Back Caddis
