South Fork 8-05-09

Flow out of Palisades Dam dropped another 1000 cfs to 10200 cfs last night.   Watch the riffle fishing pick up after soon.  There could be more flow reductions coming.  Meanwhile, the lower river is turning on while the upper river has had most of the attention.   For the lower river present chernobyl types and terrestrials towards banks as well as trying the riffles where PMDs are beginning to bring responses from trout.  Concentrate on emerger patterns.  Dry golden stone patterns still work throughout the river.   Streamers bring responses early in the day just about anywhere on the river.  We look for mutant stones to appear any day now.
