The South fork of the Stanislaus is currently running at 42cfs in Strawberry and 39cfs at Fraser flat. 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 have highs in the mid 50s all week with lows in the lower 40s to upper 30s. This time of year we begin moving away from dry fly fishing, as nymphing will become the name of the game as the hatches slow and the size of the bugs get considerably smaller. This time of year targeting the slower moving deeper holes will be crucial. For flies we recommend copper johns, prince nymphs, and flashback pheasant tails. 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 is one of the few areas with access that is open to fish this time of year. The road to Fraser flat is subject to a winter closure which can limit the amount of water you are able to access, however, the water can still be accessed in Strawberry and off of Old Strawberry road. With the cooler weather this weekend a sweatshirt or light jacket will make the cooler mornings a little easier.
