To all,

I am casting my net out to all the fly fishermen in the forum to share their favorite flies for the South Fork. The best would be to break them down by time of the day best fished and any tips for the river. For example:

Morning:
Bead Head Hair's ear
SOS
Cream Serendipity

Afternoon:
Hoppers
Scud

Evening
X-caddis
Caddis emerger

Night:
?

TIPS:
Look for seams in the river. There are not a lot of huge holes in the South Fork, but there are hidden holes by banks and behind the rocks. Study the river for a while with polarized glasses and you will see where the fish are holding.

This would be great for someone to share. Next we should hit the Weber, Logan, Blacksmiths fork, Middle Provo, Upper Provo, Lost Creek, etc. This would be a great collection to help each other out.

Head of pools in fast water, skate the caddis at end of each cast to make emerger rise rapidly.
