Have you ever wanted to get into the Spey game, or maybe add a new rod to your arsenal?  Look no further, we have your answer. We have a Sage Z-axis 13’6 7wt Spey rod and an 11′ 8wt Z-axis switch rod on sale in the shop. Both rods are brand new, but discontinued so we are selling them for a great deal.  The Z-axis Spey is marked down to $595.00 from $800.00 and the Switch rod is marked at $575.00 down from $725.00!  We only have one of each so be sure to get a hold of us if you want one. We can ship the rod out if any of you out of town are interested. Give us a call (208-524-7160) or swing by the shop if you are interested.

Main Stem Snake River 9-11-12

Fishing Reports, Main Stem Snake River

With the recent drop of flow out of Palisades Dam and more of the same to follow, this river should now be on you “to visit” list. The main stem Snake has had high flows all summer, but now look for BWO and caddis to offer action.   Streamer fishing will become more important here as we move through autumn.   The river is best fished through floating, but with lowering flows wading will become safe in several places.  We can help identify such locations. Come in and talk to us about them.

Fishing Reports, Yellowstone Park

If you are a Firehole River fan the cooling temperatures are just the ticket.  Look for BWOs there to begin emerging in good numbers, and with cooler water fish will respond.   Streamer fishing will also pick up all through the Park, especially where browns are moving.   Terrestrial insects remain in good numbers, but with hard frosts not far away their importance will soon diminish. So enjoy the last few weeks of big trout exploding on your hopper, beetle and ant patterns.

If you fish Island Park Reservoir you know it takes a bit of effort to travel to Grizzly Springs without a motor.  With kokanee moving into the river and big  rainbows sure to follow them, consider fishing streamers where the river enters the reservoir.  There are nearby places to launch a boat, or you can wade the river just above McRae’s Bridge. A time to do this with a better chance to encounter a big rainbow would be right around twilight.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Fork

Cooler and longer nights, lower flows out of Island Park Dam, and less daylight are making for changes.  Streamer and two-fly nymph rigs fishing is picking up in Box Canyon.   Mahogany Duns and BWOs are showing on the river below as tricos and callibaetis decrease.   Terrestrial patterns still work, but their days are coming to an end as we cool of further.  So make some changes in your fly box!

Fishing Reports, South Fork

Just a few hours ago flow out of Palisades Dam was reduced to 7240 cfs.  At the Heise gauge it is about 9700 cfs.  This makes for easier wading, and just might be the ticket for improving riffle fishing when BWOs and mahogany duns peak.   Also we might see more mutant golden stones emerge. Wait a day or two for things to stabilize in the river and fishing will pick up.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

We’ve had reports of good fishing early in the last few days before the wind kicked in. Yesterday it was strong enough to send  many boats off the lake.  Creek mouths were good locations with Targhee Creek leading the pack and Howard Creek coming on.

We just received an order from Hareline and there is some great new stuff in the shop. We have new colors of rabbit, flashabou, and a brand new product called Senyo’s Wacko Hackle that I think you guys are really going to love. It is designed to be used on steelhead flies like intruders, but in other colors it could be used on streamers and even braided out and used on smaller nymph patterns. This new material will give your flies a great new look. Check out the Steelhead flies tied with Wacko Hackle in the image below, they look awesome!

None of the other new materials we received have pictures online yet, so you will have to come in and check them out!

Fishing Reports, Yellowstone Park

Browns have begun their migration out of Hebgen Lake into the Madison River and on up to spawning grounds in the Gibbon and lower Firehole rivers. The same will soon begin on Lewis River Channel and the Yellowstone  River. So break out the streamer patterns.  Cooling weather is beginning to improve fishing success on the Firehole River.  Trico activity is making for good fishing along the Madison River and in Fall River Basin.   So keep those trico patterns handy for a while.

Fishing Reports, Still Water

Island Park Reservoir,  mostly on the west end,  has been drawn down to levels where sand bars and mud flats are exposed or close enough to the surface to present a hazard to boaters.  Nevertheless good fishing can be had near spring holes such as Grizzly Springs.  Getting there pretty much requires long distance boating, so be careful of the submerged conditions on the way there and back. When you get there, try bloodworm patterns under an indicator and experiment to find the taking depth.  Springfield Reservoir is producing for those folks presenting midge pupa patterns around spring holes.   Expect company on these and the few other still waters offering good fishing because so many such as Twenty-Four Mile, Daniels, Chesterfield and Condie have been drawn down to levels where conditions are unfavorable for fishing.
