| Conditions
: South Fork: The flow is up to 10,021 cfs from Palisades dam. Some of the tributaries are starting to rise with the beginning of spring runoff giving the water its customary green spring look. Continue using a rubber leg/glow bug combination for the rainbows. Streamers cast on a full sink or sink tip line will be a good technique in these water conditions. The great feeder canal is still shut down for maintainance so the flow down to Lorenzo is high. Reported by: Jimmy's All Seasons Angler |
