Middle Fork

[Derek Hendrickson]

I floated the Middle Fork yesterday with brothers Tim and Jason. The water has cleared up nicely. They definitely worked hard and managed a couple of nice browns stripping streamers. There was also a nice little yellow stonefly hatch for about an hour and we fooled a couple of fish with drys. It sure was a beautiful day to be on the water.

Hi Derek,

Thanks again for attending our annual expo representing your local guide service.

The MF of the American River looks wonderful.

We will have to get down it with you this summer. Not too many people guide it besides you so I think it would be a great experience for most of us.

Thanks for the report too.

What do you think the water temp is now?

Thanks Bill,
I had a great time at the Expo. It's cool to meet many of the people you hear so much about. The temp. was 56.4 when we put in and I took another reading near the takeout that was 58.2.

That's a great temperature for trout.

Thanks Derek.
