end of June when the salmon fly hatch occurs. Dry fly enthusiasts enjoy abundant hatches of stoneflies, caddis, pale morning duns, and blue wing olives throughout the season. Fishing terrestrials and attractor patterns can be a heart stopping experience on the South Fork during the summer months.

Fall is also an exciting time to fish the South Fork. Midges and Blue Wing Olives offer anglers excellent dry fly fishing opportunities. The Fall also offers tremendous streamer fishing for trophy brown trout. The river produced the Idaho State Record, weighing over 30 pounds.The South Fork enters a picturesque, road-less canyon fifteen miles below Palisades Reservoir. Idaho's largest remaining stand of riparian cottonwoods provides crucial habitat for bald eagles, osprey, peregrine falcons, great blue herons, elk, deer, moose, and bear in the canyon.
