Henry’s Fork 8-21-10

This is the slow time of season on the lower river, but that does not mean you cannot get into the fish of the season when you pitch streamer patterns at twilight. Be sure to have light colored and dark colored streamers, fish parts of the stream on the sunset side of the river, and have a stout (1X) tippet.  So much of successful streamer fishing is being able to recognize where the big trout hold.  Next comes being on the water when there is ample overhead cover.  After that pattern choice is a somewhat distant third.
