steve, fished the southfork also yesterday, river was just the right height but, as you said was pretty muddy, and then the wind pushed a lot of leaves into the water. I tried using the flyrod for awhile, but coudn't get one to bite, so i hate to say this, but i switched to my spoon rod and had my limit in about 20 minutes! Nice bright fresh fish! next time i'll have to stick with the flyrod until it produces. good luck next time, looks like the river went out again today, according to the graph.:'(
