Today at Jimmy’s 02-03-09

Well we have many projects going on at Jimmy’s. Right now we have put alot of womens clothing on clearance. Cloudveil and Columbia shirts are marked up to 50% off retail price. We also have select womens and mens Cloudveil Fleece, windstopper Jackets marked down as well.

Yesterday I took my dog fishing on the South Fork. We went with a couple friends and had a geat time. The temperature didn’t get above freezing but we were still able to hook into a few fish. Nymphing was the name of game yeaterday. The brown and orange Pats rubberleg was the hot fly.  I have posted a few photos of the trip below.

Henry’s Fork 02/03

Fishing on the Henrys Fork has been good on the warmer days. Rubberlegs, san juan worms and small #18-22 nymphs have produced fish. Midge hatches are consistent on days when the tempature sores above freezing. Island Park has been getting lots of snow dumped on them the last few weeks. This is good for the upcoming fishing season. Unfortenly this limits access to areas of the river that are open year round. We have been informed that the vernon bridge boat ramp has a spot that has been plowed so you can park. You can also access the river at the fun farm bridge.

South Fork 02/03

Watch the weather report. Warm days on the South Fork will greatly increase your chance to catch trout. Rubberlegs have been working really well. The fish are hanging out in the tailouts of riffles and deep holes. Be sure to bring your midge patterns and use them when you see noses on the surface.

During the winter the boat ramps do not get maintained for snow. It is easier to leave the boat at home and  wade the South Fork during this time of the year. Acces is really good for wading this time of year. Consider Hiese Bridge, Twinn Bridges, Spring Creek Boat Ramp, Byington Boat Ramp, Wolf Flats and the Great Feader Canal. All of these locations offer pucblic acces to the river, and you can wade and fish the river very easily from these locations. Remember to use common sense and be extra cautious while fishing during the winter.
