Jfg Buffalo River Fishing Report

[Zack Hoyt]

The river is very low from the headwaters to the Highway 14 bridge. Much dragging will be experienced. After the bridge the water level is low but floatable. Be aware that you may have to drag your boat in places. River level is 2.64 feet and flowing at 139 cfs near Harriet at the Highway 14 Bridge.The really hot weather has pushed the best times for fishing to early morning and late evening. Soft plastics such as 4" Zoom lizards, baby brush hogs and tube baits in greens and brown shades are working best.Fly fishing is good with top water stuff in the evening and subsurface flies all other times. Crazy Dads, Clouser Minnows and muted colors of Sparkle Grubs are working best.
