Conditions : South Fork: Note: (7/28) Flow out of Palisades Dam was dropped to 9800 cfs yesterday. (now 10800 cfs at Heise, 5050 cfs at Lorenzo). Expect warmer water temperatures.

Flow has been nearly constant for about a week and water is warming. This means PMD and pink albert hatches will soon be providing the best action especially at the heads and tails of riffles. Hoppers are beginning to be important on banks of the lower river.
