The South Fork is low and clear, running at 620 cfs at Miranda as of Thursday afternoon. Despite the conditions, fish are being caught, though the crowds have thinned. A small increase in flows is predicted for Monday. A bigger change is forecast for mid-next week where we could see heavier rainfall totals and a possible blowout by the weekend.
