South Fork American River

Mostly along Highway 50 from Sacramento to Tahoe.

On Hwy 50 East above Placerville from the Ice House/Union Valley/Loon Lake turn off up hill to Kyburz Lodge is a good stretch right along the right side of the road .

Chili Bar is north of Placerville on the South Fork but goes up and down too much for consistent fishing unless you are floating it. Great streamer fishing now...

Many will turn off to the right just after/above /past the Kyburz Lodge and drive up (south) the Silver Fork too.

Lots of folks were getting fish on #10/12 Stimulators a few weeks ago but as the water comes down and clears you might need smaller (#14/16) dries on lighter(5x-6x) tippets.
