The South Fork has been fishing well, with streamer fishing being the best producer. Bring a selection of black, olive, tan, and white, and find what color the fish seem to be preferring that day. Streamer fishing is great fun, and if you haven’t tried it, don’t be shy; this is a great time of the year to learn. A Pat’s rubber legs or a Duracell under a large hopper or an indicator is also fishing great. For dry flies, have some mahogany duns and longer leaders ready for the emergence midmorning. Pockets of fish along the South Fork will become active on the surface, and dropping anchor and fishing small dries to willing fish can be very effective if you’re prepared!
