: South Fork: Releasing Cool, Clear Water Currently the South Fork offers the best of fishing conditions of major east Idaho rivers. Cool, clear waters brought on by those at depth in Palisades Reservoir are the major reason for in this condition, and as is usual this time of the season, makes the river a superb tail water fishery. Hatches of several aquatic insect species are making for great top water fishing just about anywhere on the river. The big stoneflies are mostly gone, but golden stones, sallys, PMDs, caddis and damsel flies and even midges are doing so. No significant pink alberts or mutant golden stones yet, but they soon will be here. Many weeks of great fishing lie ahead on the river. Whether you wade or float to fish it the river offers great times for you to enjoy. Reported by: Jimmy's All Seasons Angler |
