The South Fork is now open year round to provide additional angling opportunity and give anglers the chance to help native cutthroat trout by harvesting non-native rainbow trout. Fishing below the dam for spawning rainbows has been excellent in the past two weeks. The limit on rainbow trout has been removed, and we encourage anglers to harvest all rainbow trout they catch. No cutthroat may be harvested.
The South Fork tributaries (Burns, Pine, Rainey, and Palisades creeks) are now all closed to cutthroat trout harvest and do not open until July 1.
