Fish Report for 8-2-2012
The San Joaquin is fishing well but still has some closed areas.
8-2-2012
Tom Loe
Soda Springs and Agnew Meadows campground and day use areas remain closed. I have been told that they will not open this year due to the massive wind damage from a storm last fall. The remainder of the areas are fully open now. Don't leave food in your cars, the bears are raising hell this year.
Fishing remains very good with nice flows and great water conditions. The short term weather forecast has some T-storm advisories, so as is always the case in the back country or higher elevations know the weather to avoid a bad experience. Dry fly fishing the pocket water with caddis and mayfly imitations #14-18 is a slam dunk. I use a para post BWO pattern that really works well in many areas. A #12-14 stimulator with a smaller dry as a trailer is a good way to fish fast water. Try to make upstream presentations when possible, start close-then work your way up to the sweet spot at the top of the pool.
