Terrestrials and Mayflies – South Fork Fishing Report

Flows are now 6,960 cfs. As Palisades Reservoir gets lower, expect some turbidity – especially in the upper sections. Fishing on the South Fork continues to be good during final days of summer and first days of fall. Terrestrials (mostly hoppers) are  continuing the dry dropper action for most. The first hatches of Mahoganies and BWOs are creating some small dry fly fishing opportunities in softer fall water types – especially on cloudy, overcast and cool days. Fish are quite educated, so get ready for some technical fishing. Streamer fishing as well as nymphing will continue to produce fish during times when hatches haven’t started or just finishing up. Floating options are widely available so get out there and enjoy the final weeks of summer on the South Fork!
