South Fork 9-22-18

Flow out of Palisades Dam was dropped to 7200 cfs on 9/20. Flow at Lorenzo is now about 3500 cfs.  This makes for more walk-in wade opportunities. Hopper-dropper combinations seem to work OK the lower river, but streamer fishing has been good up and down the river.  Somber patterns ( black, dark olive, brown) seem most effective.  Don’t expect BWOs and mahoganies to provide good dry fly fishing until we get some really stormy weather.
