Conditions

The North Fork is running 783 cfs as of September 11 with prime water temperatures at 58°F, conditions that favor streamer work. Cooler, wetter weather and heavy rain are increasing streamer effectiveness, so focus on darker and visible patterns. Fish obvious structure and softer water alongside faster current and pocket water runs.

Gauges

Techniques

  • Darker or more visible streamer patterns especially effective in slightly stained water
  • Fish obvious structure but do not overlook softer water tucked alongside faster current; carry streamers for cooler wetter weather
