Conditions
Water temperature is holding at 50°F as of August 9, putting the South Fork in prime thermal range for aggressive feeding. Big, buggy dry flies paired with stonefly nymphs remain the most effective combo, and substantial foam patterns continue to draw interest in the bright conditions. Stoneflies and caddis are hatching well, especially in bright light. This run fishes best as a float.
