Location: Lower St Joe, Avery down
Water Condition: Flows are sitting at 5880 cfs and staying pretty consistent through this next week with little fluctuations in flow.
Fish Species: Westslope Cutthroat
Fishing Techniques: Hopper Dropper, Nymphing, Streamers, Dry Fly
Hatches: Salmonflies, Skwala's, and March Browns
Report:
Fishing on the Joe has remained consistent. With the high spring flows, wade fishing is going to a bit sporty, and if you have a boat stick to floating Marble Creek and down.
Nymphing has continued to be the most productive, but if you catch a March Brown hatch, try throwing a soft hackle about 2 ft down to pick more fish. Hopper droppers are still a good go-to, to prospect with skwalas and salmonflies around.
This has been the most consistent spring runoff we've gotten in a while, so get out and take advantage of it!
