The S/Fork is open only up to the fish ladder at the Falls. It opens back up on June 1st. I fish it in the summer also. Went by the river yesterday and it was dropping but it was dirty. This was up where Canyon Creek dumps in. I live in Marysville also so I guess that I'm close too. It gets most of it's clay from a slide that bleeds all summer long. It's across the river from Gold Basin camp ground. Jim S.
