: South Fork: Flow out of Palisades Dam was upped to 1250 cfs a week ago today from around 1000 cfs. It is uncertain if 1250 cfs will be the winter flow, but if it were it would benefit the fishery. A good number of walk-in wade locations remain, but weather determines how pleasant fishing will be this time of year. If you give it a try be sure to have rubberleg and streamer patterns in your fly box. Reported by: Jimmy's All Seasons Angler |
