South Fork, September 17th, 2022

Flow out off Palisades dam has been ramped down over the last several days ( about 8700 cfs at Irwin, 8900 cfs at Heise, 5600 cfs at Lorenzo).. It is now approaching normal for this time of the season. So is may fly activity with BWOs and mahogany duns being active. Add terrestrial insects still around in good numbers and the same with caddis flies, and the river offers great top water fishing. With more low light conditions around, streamer fishing is also very good. Presenting nymph patterns at the heads and tails of riffles also produces. Fishing is as good as it gets on the South Fork.
