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.

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.

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.
Henry’s Fork 11-03-2009
For the lower river rely on BWO life cycle patterns and steamers. For the upper river BWO life cycle patterns bring action around Last Chance. Egg patterns and streamers bring action in Box Canyon and the Tubs.
South Fork 11-03-2009
Flow out of Palisades Dam is down to 1800 cfs. The river is now a walk-in-wade paradise. Fish are concentrated, crowds are gone, and there are many, many locations to try. Drop by the shop; we can help you decide on which ones are best. When you decide on where along the river you will be fishing, be sure to have BWO life cycle patterns and streamers. These are the taking flies for riffle feeding cutts and migrating browns respectively.

Look for migrating browns taking streamer patterns almost anywhere up & down the river. The same for rainbows chasing forage minnows. This unsettled weather we are having is just the ticket for action with evenings being the best time of day for a chance at a really big brown or ‘bow. Be sure to have a streamer tip line for presenting those streamers.

Action is picking up especially in the Dcuk Creek-Hope Creek area. Try the mity mouse and peacock leeches. A few fish are being caught along the north shore, but action there has a long way to go to be considered very good.
Henry’s Fork 10-27-2009
Still pretty much the same for the lower river: streamers for migrating browns and BWOs for top water fishing. The weather has been great fo both with cloudy unsettled conditions. So get out and enjoy. For the upper river BWOs are active around Last Chance, and streamers are becoming more effective in Box Canyon.
South Fork 10-26-09
Fishing on the South Fork is still doing well. Flows have dropped to 2500 cfs. Blue Wing Olives continue to hatch look for them in the riffles and the back eddy’s. Drifting a rubberleg and a bead head nymph under an indicator is still producing fish in good numbers. Streamers has picked up on the South Fork but remember to choose your days wisely. Overcast days are the best for hooking up with trout on streamers.
Today at Jimmy’s 10-22-09
October is probably my favorite month of the year! There are so many fun and exciting things to chase in October. Steelhead, Brown Trout, Pheasants, Ducks, Geese, and of course Elk and Deer. All the rivers and streams in the local area are fishing well. Due to the great water season we had this last winter flows have stayed steady allowing wonderful Blue Wing Olive hatches.
With winter knocking at our doorstep we have started beefing up our tying inventory. We have brought in some new material for the tying season. There is a new rabbit material for tying streamers called Bunnybou. It is a rabbit hide that resembles marabou in the water. we also have brought in Krystal Flash Chennelle and Baitfish Emulator. We have a full selection on colors and sizes for these new products! All of these new tying products have very many uses for tying flies. Stop by the shop today we would love to show you these new materials.
