North Fork Anglers's Tip of the Week
The flushing flows are over and the Low Sho has stabilized. We should have some great fishing for the next few days. I expect the river to become dirty by weeks end due to the local canals being turned on and the flushing out of sediment.

5-Day Outlook as of 4/15/24
Good fishing early this week but muddy towards the weekend.
Techniques & Tips as of 4/15/24
Nymphs fished under an indicator with a floating fly line have been consistent trout producers. Dark and or two tone streamers - For example, Sex Dungeons, Mini Peanut Envys, Trevor's Sculpin, Scupzillas, Rabbit Zonkers are working great. Keep an eye out for midges and BWO's during the heat of the day.
