: South Fork: The current string of snow storms is a blessing for the South Fork drainage above Palisades Reservoir. The reservoir is approaching being 90 % of capacity with much more winter left to reach 100%. Yes, much access to the river below has become more difficult, however a full reservoir means better habitat for hosted salmonids in the river next season. Reported by: Jimmy's All Seasons Angler |
