Hatch Status

Expect Pink Alberts and Flavs during afternoon, variety of caddis both early and late

Conditions

The South Fork is shaping up for a solid week ahead. Water temperature sits at a cool 59°F, which supports active fish throughout the day. Flows are running normal around 1,150 cfs, making a drift boat the best platform with some productive wading along the road. Expect Pink Alberts and Flavs to work well in the afternoon, with caddis patterns taking fish early and late. Clear skies and calm conditions should make for pleasant fishing.

Gauges

Techniques

  • Try hoppers with nymph trailer along banks if floating
