: South Fork: We wanted to give you a heads up on the flow situation for the South Fork. Flows at the dam have dropped to 1600 cfs. With decreased amount of snow fall the Bureau of Reclamation wants to make sure there is enough water in the spring to fill the reservoir. This will not effect the fishing on the South Fork. Fishing has been good on the warm days. Nymphing has been the most productive. The key is fishing during the warm part of the day and hitting it on a day when the temperature is over 32 degrees.

| Misc Info: -
The South Fork is now open year round to provide additional angling opportunity and give anglers the chance to help native cutthroat trout by harvesting non-native rainbow trout. Fishing below the dam for spawning rainbows has been excellent in the past two weeks. The limit on rainbow trout has been removed, and we encourage anglers to harvest all rainbow trout they catch. No cutthroat may be harvested. The South Fork tributaries (Burns, Pine, Rainey, and Palisades creeks) are now all closed to cutthroat trout harvest and do not open until July 1.
