Blacksmith Fork River Fishing Report

Blacksmith Fork is flat at about 51 CFS, same as last week and well under the 83 median for this date. Clarity: low and clear.

What changed is the weather. Storms are rolling through, and gray days are good for the afternoon BWOs on this little river. Fish the deeper bends and shaded pockets with a size 20 zebra midge or Pheasant Tail, and keep a size 20 Parachute BWO ready for when they start rising. It's mostly browns and they're close to spawning, so stay off the gravel. We haven't seen a fresh report from anyone this week.
