Clear water and moderate flows have the South Fork concentrating fish along cutbanks and seams, with Mahogany Duns and Blue Wing Olives driving the midday bite.

Silver Creek is productive in early fall with stable low flows and prime water temps. Expect Baetis, Mahogany Duns, October Caddis, and Trico, though Tricos have been spotty.

Clearwater flows have dropped sharply to 3,270 cfs, opening swing water opportunities and concentrating steelhead in lower volumes at a prime 59-degree temperature.

Cooler temperatures and falling flows have fish spread across the entire Saint Joe, with excellent afternoon dry fly action expected on October Caddis, spruce moths, BWOs, and terrestrials.

Steelhead season is starting with reported success on the Clearwater. Flows are falling and water is cooling, making for prime conditions to target holding fish with heavier presentations.
