The South Fork is green, and was holding right around 1,800 cfs at Miranda Thursday. It dropped into really good shape, especially in the Benbow area, on Wednesday. Boat traffic will likely be heavy over the weekend, but the river should be fishable to the forks. Not a wide-open bite by any means, but there were some nice fish caught. If the ensemble forecast is correct, we may see a rise starting next Friday.
