South Fork - katghoti - 12-22-2005
Anyone been up to the South Fork lately? I have a chance to get out this weekend to do some fishing and want to try it. Last time out, all I got was whitefish, we didn't see any browns anywhere. If you went, what did you use, how was the fishing, where?
Thanks.

Looks as though you are going to have to check it out and let us know.

Hey all,
Well I went Monday and did some fishing. We really did well. Started under the dam messing with the whitefish. Had lots of looks from trout at the glo-bug, but once I put on a copper john the whites went crazy. I was fishing right under the outlet, my brother went over to the spill way and fished over there and pulled out a nice 15" splake. It was his first. Then we moved down and I hauled out a nice rainbow on a glo-bug then wrestled with a large white fish I sight-casted to. He went 20" and was a blast in the current. Then down more where I caught some browns (one 16") and my brother pulled in some nice browns. A little further down I we both pulled in some rainbows (nice and fat). Then we moved down river and the fish turned off around 3:30 so we went home. We caught them on glo-bugs (egg colored not red), size 18 copper john, hare's ear, pheasant tail, and I took one rainbow on a size 16 South Ogden Slayer. Fished about 5 hours and caught 10 fish. Not to bad.

Sounds like you were fishing up in the memorial park area? I like that area but haven't really figuared it out yet. I usually fish down a bit lower. You do much down there?

Yea I fish from magpie up to the the dam. The flies I mentioned in my post work all the way up the river. Stick with size 18 copper john's and you should be fine.

Nope. Just fish the public stuff.
