The South fork of the Stanislaus is currently running at 70cfs in Strawberry and 30cfs at Fraiser flat which is down slightly from last week. Although these flows are still on the low side there are still areas to fish, and these low flows make traversing the water and the banks much easier. The weather this week is expected to be warmer with the highs in the upper 70s to low 80s all week. This section of water is a good area for those looking for regular dry fly action. This is also a great area for utilizing a dry dropper set up, especially since there are minimal areas for nymphing because of the low flows. For flies we recommend elk hair caddis dries, foam ants, sparkle purple adams, foam hoppers, and pheasant tail nymphs. Although this section of river is not known for the size of fish in it, this is a great spot for those just looking to get a quick fishing trip in and get to an area that is slightly cooler. With the cooler weather this weekend a sweatshirt or light jacket will make the cooler mornings a little easier.
