The south fork is a fun river to fish. Like all streams, however, it has its challenges. Because of all the campgrounds/people nearby, the fish are much easier to spook. But you should catch fish if you use a little more stealth/patience. My experience on the south fork is that you should pay very close attention to any spot that will hold a fish where there is plenty of cover and little chance of foot traffic. I've caught fish in 4" of water running under a bank, when the deep pool 5' to the side of it has 0 fish in it.
The flys i've done best on are beadless pheasant tails and beadless hares ears in size 16-18. Im not sure why, but I always do better on the ogden/south fork using beadless flys.
