Quick update about the Silver Fork. Just got back from a days camping China flat. I wanted to camp at Silver Fork CG but it is now closed until next year. Had a great two days fishing just dries. Lots of PED and PMD hatches. No fish over 10-11 inches, but got about 20 rises on a #16 Olive PED imitation and just under a dozen to hand. I was catching fish throughout the day, but got the most hits during low light. AM temp was 45 degrees, highs about 68-70. Didn't check the water temp. It wasn't lights out and most of the fish were dinks and planters, but it was fun to catch them on dries with a 3 weight. Kyburz is spot on. I used 6x and should have used 7x. Water is skinny, cold and gin clear. Met a gear guy who was using power bait and lures who caught a 12 incher in the riffles.
