If you are a dry fly fisherman, try the riffles on the San Joaquin

Way more water than usual down here for this time of year, however it is in great shape for fishing dries in the riffles. The crowds of summer have passed and if you enjoy doing some moderate hiking get 20 minutes from any of the campgrounds and you should have some consistent fishing for small but feisty wild trout. Getting cooler especially in the mornings, I suggest waders with studs from now on.
