The South Fork was off and on fishable since last weekend, though conditions were marginal at best. It finally blew out on Wednesday, peaking at 12,500 cfs at Miranda. It’s forecast for a bigger rise Sunday morning where it could surpass 25,000 cfs. If we don’t get a bunch of rain next week, it could be fishable by next weekend. A few adult steelhead have been caught.
