South Fork

Flow out of Palisades Dam is holding around 900 cfs which is the likely flow for the rest of the winter. The reservoir is about 22% of capacity and snow pack in the drainage above is good. . Right now the Heise and Lorenzo gauges are iced up, so readings there will have to wait for warmer conditions. As expected, fishing is slow. Midge cluster patterns provide some top water action during nicer weather. Rubber leg and streamer patterns bring some action at times.


Fly Patterns to use:
Tungsten Zebra Midge Thin Black
Egan’s Rainbow Warrior Pearl
Mayhem Emerger Black
