The North Fork of the Stanislaus River has been tough this past week as we are experiencing a full moon .  Bait casters should try inflated nightcrawlers,salmon eggs, Gulp Power Eggs, and floating Power Eggs. Power Bait has just released their new scents for 2010. They now have salmon egg scent, and garlic in the popular colors, along with the new hatchery pellet scent, and green pumpkin. Lure casters should try Panther Martin's, Rooster Tails, Kastmasters, Blue Fox spinners, and Rapalas. Fly fishermen should try bead head nymphs,parachute adams, female parachute adams, parachute blue dun, parachute light cahill, ants, woolly buggers, stimulators, and caddis flies. The bite  usually comes on early in the morning or later in the evening. You can check the flows at dreamflows.com.
