South Branch River report.

[Caddis]

Drove past the South Branch yesterday around 3:30pm. The water level looked slightly high and chocolate.

When I left my father's house around 7:30, the water cleared up considerably. I can only imagine that the water is perfectly fishable today.

Get out there!

south branch update

I was out yesterday, The stream is a little high, but very fishable. I was there for about an 1hr nada . I noticed a couple of hard rises right along the shore line. I figured they were sunnies and left them alone.

After another 20mins, I said what the heck. Thoses 'sunnies' turned out to be trout. I guess they are still adjusting to hitting surface flies ... or I'm adjusting to them.

Yup, You should never assume ... cause it means you don't catch fish for about 1hr & half.

I fished the gorge yesterday afternoon for the first time this year. I caught quite a few. The water was still off color, but I only saw about 5 other fishermen in the gorge. All fish were caught on soft hackle flies. Caddis were coming off, but fish were not on them. The water temp was 60 degrees at 3:00 in the afternoon when I left.

Jason; You are right about the water in the KLG, but the fishing was very productive. I fished sunrise to elevenish and only saw two others fishing. Caught most on 18 bhpt and a few on an 18 copper john. Love it without the crowds.
