Kern River Fly Fishing Forum

scarney19 Member Posts: 63 Gender:	MM Jul 6^th, 2012, 10:08am I was wondering if anyone could pass some info along as to the conditions on the South Fork near MM. I am heading up there in a few days for a little fly fishing and scouting for deer season. I will be hiking in passed the fish dam. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks and have a good one!

Actually....those pics are in June. Some are saying high country waters present as they might in September or October in a normal year....which is pretty skinny. The coming heat wave and August heat will continue to take their toll. Talked to some packer friends and they said it was the driest they've seen in ten years with many smaller waters already drying up.

I sent you a detailed PM of the X10 area for hunting. I did not get a tag after scouting it in May. Good luck is all I can tell you. This is the worst water year for the SFK in like 45 years. I would not fish it. Hunting will be very tough. Bring your hiking boots.
