South Fork, September 20th, 2022

Flow out of Palisades Reservoir continues to drop (now about 6160 cfs at Irwin, 6360 cfs at Heise, 3700 cfs at Lorenzo) to normal for the season as downstream irrigation demands diminish. The same can be said for number of anglers, but walk-in wade locations are increasing. Riffle and drop off fishing with BWO and Mahogany dun life cycle patterns has been productive, and even though they are diminishing greatly, some mutant golden stone flies emerge during early hours.
