San Joaquin River Fish Report

Prime time here. Flows are very good and the wild fish are on the chew in sections that are away from the campgrounds. Most mayfly imitations #14-18, elk caddis matches #16-18, ant patterns #16-18 will work well on the top. PT's, tigers and zebras #16-20 for dry dropper, or indicator nymphing in the deeper pools. The campgrounds are not fairing as well and it is obvious that there are smaller and less frequently planted fish in most of these areas this summer.

Upstream casts starting at the base of a pool or tail out will get you better approaches on these spooky wild trout. There are lots of fish holding in the riffles and pocket water but you may not be able to fish across from them under current conditions. Do some walking if you do not see fish holding in the pools near the campgrounds, it will pay off.
