Henry's Fork

We have been hearing rumors of Drakes hatching on the lower river. Pale Morning Duns, Caddis, Golden Stones, and Yellow Sallies are producing fish on the surface. With the South Fork flows really high expect to see a lot of people on the Henry’s Fork for the next few weeks. Nymphing and streamer fishing still continue to produce fish under the surface. For an up to minute report call the shop.

The Henrys Fork days are this weekend in Island Park. This is a great time they will be lots to do up in Island Park this weekend. For more information on the Henrys’ Fork days call the shop.

With the South Fork blown out, the Henry’s Fork is fishing really well. We have also heard really great things about the lakes and reservoirs south of Idaho falls. Yellowstone Park is also fishing well. Talk to Bruce to find out his favorite places to fish in Yellowstone, and Tom will be happy to help you figure out which lake you can find some big trout.

We posted some ew items on the Online Store. We now have fly lines from RIO Products. Keep posted to the online store because we are continuing to add more products. Eventually we will have all of RIO’s products available to purchase for our online store. If you need a new Trout fly line head over to our online store and pick one out today!

South Fork 06-17-09

South Fork

Due to very low irrigation demand increased flows into Palisades the South Fork is up to 14,000 cfs and will be raised to 17,000 plus by tomorrow. This is a much higher flow than was predicted last week by the Bureau of Rec. The reservoir is only 3 percent from filling so flows may go higher once the lake fills in 3 or 4 days from now.

Hopefully by late June when the big stoneflies start hatching the flows will have dropped back into the 15,000 range. We will keep an eye the conditions and report whatever news we get.  In the meantime if you fish the south fork concentrate again at the bottoms of the islands and slower water next to the current like we did earlier this year when the flows were up.

We have received some new t-shirt from Simms. They have really great prints on them from the artist Derek DeYoung, and his paintings of trout. The Henry’s Fork Days is coming up this weekend. Jimmy will be upu there so if you see him be sure to say hello. Also we have many great ideas for those Fathers. Nothing shows application and love like a fathers day gift from Jimmy’s All Seasons Angler.

South Fork 6-15-09

South Fork

The rain that we have been receiving is keeping the water at a steady temperature around 48 degrees. The streamer fishing has been outstanding! Nymphing with a rubberleg and a bead head dropper has been really effective as well. Fish can be found along the banks and the tailouts of riffles. Look for fish to continue to move into the riffles and the drop offs as we get closer to dry flies hatching. The water is still off color but very fishable.

Flows should stay steady at 10.700 cfs. If we see any increase in flows it will only be to answer the demands of irrigation, and that should only raise the flow around 12,700 cfs at the maximum. If this does happen the fishing will not be affected dramaticly. Give the river one day and it should settle out.

A few damselflies are moving on nearly all these in the southeast. This includes Daniels, Chesterfield, Twenty-Four Mile, Hawkins and Springfield reservoirs.   Allow a few days of warm weather and they will really begin moving on all of these.  Meanwhile, stick to the transition waters, fish the coves, inlets, and weedy areas with scuds and small leech patterns.  Your favorite midge pupa under a strike indicator with an almost painfully slow retrieve will produce on these.  Experiment to find the taking depth.  The upper end of Daniels is a great example of where to fish.

Firehole River, Duck and Cougar creeks are the best so far.  The Firehole is best for dry fly fishing with PMDs, BWOs and caddis. There are a few PMDs on Duck Creek, but the best approach here is with nymphs, small leech patterns and the lowly San Juan worm.   Same for Cougar Creek. Responses to the PMD emergence on the Madison River is improving.   Fall River Basin streams will be high for a while as much run-off is yet to come down.  Use a full sink line to put down scud and small leech patterns around weed beds on Shoshone  Lake. Walk the  Lewis Lake shorelines to pitch streamers on full sink lines, or use streamer tip lines to present streamers in the river above.

Slow is the word, but get those damselfly nymphs ready for the end of the month. Your best pattern for success now would be scuds in various colors as the weed growth has begun and harbors a growing population of these insects.

The lower river is coming alive with insects and fish are responding. Here’s the menu:  PMDs, sallys, caddis, golden stones and midges ongoing and attracting fish throughout.  Just beginning to emerge are green and gray drakes. The greens are beginning mainly on the Warm River to Ashton reach where the canyon walls hold daytime heat longer. The grays are beginning to appear mainly from Chester backwaters to Ashton Dam.  Give both of these some more time and warming weather to  attract fish big time.
