Henry’s Lake 11-10-2009
Fish are in shallow water all around the lake. Small leech patterns in fall colors seem to work best. Ice-up is a matter of days away, so get out and enjoy these last few days on the lake.

South Fork 11-10-2009
Flow out of Palisades Dam remains at 1800 cfs for several days now. So conditions on the river are very stable. Streamer fishing for browns is at its peak with low light conditions the best time to be on the river. The BWOs are going in high gear, too. Again, PMs are best time to enjoy top water fishing for trout responding to these.
Henry’s Fork 11-09-09
Fishing on the Henry’s Fork is still good. Look for Blue Wing Olives in the afternoon. Nymphing and Streamer fishing have been producing a lot of good sized trout as well. Keep and eye out for trout to start eating midges, below the surface and on top as we continue to see cooler weather.
We have been contacted by the Henry’s Fork Foundation and they informed us that they are making some improvements to the Box Canyon and the Riverside Boat Ramp and to expect these ramps to be closed for about a week.
We also received some information regarding Ashton Reservoir:
On Monday, November 9, 2009, we will be increasing outflow from Ashton Reservoir by approximately 200 cubic feet per second above inflow to the reservoir. This will cause the reservoir level to decline approximately one foot per day. We will be maintaining this rate through Friday, November 13, 2009, or until we reach Elevation 5147. The reservoir is presently at Elevation 5152.
Saturday, November 14, 2009, through Monday, November 16, 2009, the reservoir will remain at Elevation 5147.
Starting Tuesday, November 17, 2009, outflow will be reduced approximately 200 cubic feet per second below inflow to begin refilling the reservoir approximately 1 foot per day. This will be maintained through Saturday, November 21, 2009, or until the reservoir reaches Elevation 5152.
During this time frame we will be testing generating equipment to determine its ability to operate at lower reservoir levels.

Yellowstone Park 11-03-2009
Fishing season in the Park traditionally closes the first Sunday in November.
Still Waters 11-03-2009
Everywhere mige pupa patterns underneath a strike indicator is effective this time of year. All you must do is find the taking depth.
Small Streams 11-03-2009
Midge activity on the lower Teton makes for the best small stream fishing in the area right now. The Warm River just below the Spring has an excellent BWO emergence, and so does Birch Creek.
Big Lost River 11-03-2009
Below Mackay Dam fish are concentrated in holes. They feed big time on midges during the AM and during the PM on the BWO emergence. Wading is easy and anglers are few.
Mainstem Snake River 11-03-2009
Brown trout are migrating up & down the river. Streamer patterns are the best way to encounter them. Low light conditons are best times to be there.
Henry’s Lake 11-03-2009
Shallows almost anywhere on the lake will produce fish. Scud patterns on an intermediate line with and without a leech pattern tied in forward seem to work best. Dress warmly: water temps are around 40 Deg. F.
