South Fork 3-19-19

Yesterday morning flow out of Palisades Dam was raised from 3410 cfs to 4720 cfs.  This continues lowering the amount of water in the reservoir which is now at 83% of capacity. Look for more increases  “coming down the pipe”, but the river flowing clear and cold while running through the Snake River Plain offers some fishing success. Try rubber legs and streamer patterns.  We are in a period of nice days. Banks along the river are free of ice and snow as seen in the picture above.  So the South Fork offers a chance to get out and enjoy the nice weather.
