Flow out of Palisades Dam is now at 1750 cfs. This low flow makes for a great selection of walk-in places for pitching streamers and finding fish taking BWOs. But there are places such around Twin Bridges where floating will be a bit tougher. Stormy times are predicted for this week, so get out and enjoy the South Fork before Old Man Winter takes over. Come in and talk to us about some prime walk-in locations along the river.
Browns are moving all over in the lower river. With predicted stormy weather for the week, good actions is more than a possibility! Likewise the big rainbows in Box Canyon go after streamers this time of year.
Expect the stormy weather coming up to improve the fishing good as it is. Shallow water is where the action will continue to be for the rest of the season. Concentrat on presenting those leech patterns.
If you don’t mind unsettled weather, the river below Mackay Dam is a place for some great action because of BWO and midge activity.
No change with respect to the great fishing success and taking strategy on Chesterfield and Daniels reservoirs. Springfield is coming on with the breakup of weeds. Now wooly bugger types in fall colors will be almost as effective there as presenting midge pupa patterns.
There can be some great nymph and streamer fishing on such as the lower Teton River, lower Fall River, Birch Creek, and the middle and lower parts of the Portneuf River before winter sets in.
You want a big brown of the year? Now is the time, and almost any walk-in location along the river could be the place. Bring your favorite streamer patterns and present them on a sink tip line.
The Madison River is offering great streamer and nymph fishing. This is the case whether you try the stretch blow highway 191, between Hebgen and Quake lakes or the river below Slide Inn.
