Conditions

Flows have dropped on the South Fork, and you'll share the water with boaters alongside waders. Hatch activity is sparse this week, but Pink Alberts show in the afternoon, caddis work early and late, and hoppers are turning fish. Water temps at 59 degrees are prime for matching selective trout. Look for opportunities in the margins and pocket water where current breaks allow you to present smaller patterns without competition.
