: South Fork: With the beautiful weather predicted to last for several days, it is time to get out and fish this great river! Flows remain low being at the winter maintenance levels ( about 900 cfs at Irwin, 1300 cfs at
Heise and 700 cfs at Lorenzo). Locations such as the Heise bridge and around the Lorenzo boat access are good candidates to give it a try. The extra hour of daylight will help with low light conditions being best for foraging trout. So bring your favorite streamer, fly rod jigs, rubber leg patterns to entice them and your nymph patterns for activity in the rifles and heads & tails of runs.
