Conditions

Low water is typical for late summer on the North Fork. Upper sections are thin, but the middle and lower stretches hold decent volume. As of August 26, flows at Enaville sat at 184 cfs and stable. Caddis, ants, beetles, and hoppers are working; consider heavier line and bigger attractors as water levels settle and fish relocate into fresh holding spots.
