South Fork, September 9th, 2023

Flows are beginning to drop enough to make the river a walk-in wade paradise (about 7300 cfs at Irwin, 7500 cfs at Heise, 3200 cfs at Lorenzo). Hopper-dropper combinations still work well along areas of overhead cover and vegetated banks up and down river. The the fall emergence of BWOs and mahogany duns is on the way and will peak during unsettled weather. Fall colors are also beginning, and their presence will make the river and its surroundings a beautiful place to visit.
