Conditions

Fall hatches are firing on the North Fork, with October caddis and mahogany duns drawing consistent rises. As of October 4, flows sit at 218 cfs and stable, running low for the season. Treat the water with care: lengthen your leader, downsize your tippet, and focus on pools with depth to avoid spooking fish in shallow runs. Pseudo baetis, fall caddis, hoppers, and ants round out the menu.
