Conditions
: South Fork: Palisades Reservoir is at 82% of capacity, and downstream irrigation demands have peaked. This means static flows in the river below, but there could mean occasional, but temporary increases. Paving is finished at the dam, but ongoing from Huskys to Palisades Creek. Expect delays. Giant stoneflies are gone, but the mayfly season is ongoing ( its always PM caddis season on the river). Mutant golden stones are beginning to appear. Stream side terrestrial insects are becoming abundant, so all these actions means great top water fishing. Week days see less angler and recreationist traffic on the river thanon weekends.
