: South Fork: For the sake of the fish population, lets hope this is the last drop in flow (now about 900 cfs at Irwin, 1800 cfs at Heise, and 1300 cfs at Lorenzo). out of Palisades Reservoir. However it is likely that about 900 cfs in flow out of the reservoir will be what is called the winter maintenance flow. So enjoy the walk-in wade abundance from the dam on down to the Henrys Fork confluence. Reported by: Jimmy's All Seasons Angler |
