The South Fork of the Stanislaus is currently running at 400cfs in Strawberry and 290cfs at Fraser Flat. The weather this week will be slightly cooler compared to down the hill with highs in the 60s and then cooling off over the weekend with highs in the highs 50s along with some cloud cover and a small chance of precipitation on Friday.

Unfortunately these flows are above ideal fishing flows by a considerable amount and the water is very swift at these access points for this section. There may be a few spots where the river widens and can be fished, however, extreme caution should be used along the water edge. Nymphing with heavy tungsten bead head nymphs will definitely be key if you plan to fish this section of water.
