South Fork 7-23-17

Flow out of Palisades was lowered to 11300 cfs ( a bit below average for this date) yesterday. The irrigation season peak has been reached, so more flow reductions are likely.  Riffle fishing is at the quality for which the South Fork is famed.  For active mayflies there begin the day with small nymph patterns, graduating to emergers on first sight of rising fish, then with more surface activity switch to duns.
