Conditions

The Saint Joe is holding steady as one of the region's best bets right now. Flows at Calder are running 390 cfs as of September 8, slightly elevated from recent rain and attracting active fish. Afternoon and evening feeding is strong, especially in the quieter lower sections below Avery where you'll find less pressure than the upper reaches. Clear skies and calm conditions are favoring dry patterns.
