San Joaquin River Fish Report

Good conditions currently with the bite getting better every day. No worries if you wish to wade the river currently as the run-off is pretty much done for this season here. The campgrounds are well planted with rainbows and they will hit a variety of nymphs and streamers in the #10-18 range. The SJ is well known for wild fish that are eager to smack surface patterns. Because there is plenty of pocket water and riffle sections here you need to use high riding, larger dries than one would expect on a river this size. I suggest you use a dry shake type desiccant to keep your patterns high and dry. Attractor patterns like Royal Coachman's, Humpies, Stimulators, (#10-16) all work well. Standard mayfly and caddis adult imitation's will also get you bit on the top. Fish a dry dropper combo in the slower deeper water for the stockers and larger browns that hold under the brush.
