We have been getting some of our fall shipments and some of the new product coming in is awesome. Today I wanted to tell you guys about the new “Axis” Hoody from Simms. The Axis is an awesome hoody with a grid fleece interior and Hydrophobic cuffs to prevent water from creeping up your sleeves. The jacket feels heavy duty, comes with two hand warmer pockets and could be worn either by itself or as a layering piece. We are still waiting for weather cool enough around here to really fish in the Axis, but you can tell Simms has another winner. We have this jacket in stock right now and you need to come check it out!

Here is some additional information about the Axis Hoody from Simms;

The hoody evolution goes from street stealth to last call comfort to heavy hitting fishing companion in Simms’ most superior incarnation yet, the Axis. Powered by Polartec® ThermalPro® fabric, this best-in-class piece is quick drying, features no-sweat breathing capabilities, and packs unbeatable warmth-to-weight performance. Stretch fabric equals unhindered mobility. Patented hydrophobic cuffs won’t catch water when it’s time to release the beast. And the full-zip design, with appreciated hand-warmer pockets, delivers awesome protection against unseasonable elements. Throw up the hood and soldier into the future with the next-generation Axis.

Henry’s Lake 9/9/13

Henry's Lake

Henry’s has been fishing like its typical self lately. Some folks have experienced good fishing, while others are really struggling. The key right now is to fish creek mouths in shallow, or head out to deep water and search the deeper water with a fast sinking line. Howard Creek and the area from the County Boat Dock to Duck Creek have been producing. Fish bigger leech patterns like the Olive Cb early in the morning and transition to smaller flies like the mighty mouse, Henry’s Lake PT, and Peacock AH as the day progresses. Make sure if you are struggling out there that you are always switching things up (location, flies, lines) until you find a pattern that is working. Henry’s is right on the cusp of fishing really good, just a couple more weeks and things will really heat up.

Still Water

With respect to irrigation reservoirs, Daniels and Springfield Reservoirs remain the best locations to try.  For Springfield, which has big moss beds, try a dry damselfly pattern on top of a channel through the weed beds. For Daniels any damselfly nymph pattern trailed by a small bead head pattern or a midge pupa patten under an indicator are the best bets. Chesterfield Reservoir hosts a huge algae bloom that indicates warm water. Mud flats make for tough access on Twenty-four Mile Reservoir. These conditions make for fewer folks fishing on each, so we have little information to pass on.

Flow out of Mackay Dam is at 200 cfs making for safe wading in the river below.  Morning trico spinner activity with fish responding makes for good action. The later in the day follow-up is with hopper patterns trail by either an ant pattern or a bead head nymph.

Not much change here except that severe thundershower can slow fishing, especially on streams flowing through erosion prone banks.  The Snake River and the Lamar River are susceptible to this problem which can put down fishing until after water clears.  So its a good idea to check weather forecasts when we are in a monsoon mode.   For now AM trico spinner falls make for good fishing on most streams.  Ant flights make for good fishing on Fall River and on Beula and Hering Lakes.  Switch to terrestrial patterns including those for spruce moths for mid day and afternoon fishing.  With shorter days and cooler nights coming on, look for fishing to pick up on the Firehole River.   Want some action for sure but without  many large trout? Try Beula or Riddle Lakes.  Try Obsidian and Indian Creeks.   Want to try a small stream hosting large trout? Try Boundary, Duck, Mountain Ash, or Soda Butte Creeks.

If you plan on fishing the Last Chance-Harriman reach, be sure to have ant patterns (#20-12) available as well as hopper patterns. Other than these, PMD, speckled dun, and trico spinner patterns will be sure to bring morning action.   Tricos are showing during mornings on the river below Ashton Dam with some resulting action.  As we cool off through this month, look for fishing on this part of the river to pick up.

South Fork

Three days ago flow out of Palisades Dam was dropped to 7080 cfs.  Expect more drops in flow out of Palisades Dam to come with the reservoir at 8% of useable capacity.  With dropping flows, walk in-wading will have a lot more opportunities. Come visit us or get in touch for suggestions on locations to target. One Fly Contest is going on today, making for only six boats per section, including the South Fork. Six more boats is only a blip in the variation of daily South Fork boats. With recent cloudy weather a few BWOs could begin to show up in this year of uncertain hatches.  Allow about two more weeks for BWOs and mahogany duns to show in significant numbers.  For now look for mutant stone activity to provide some action.

Just a quick heads up for everybody, the river is now flowing at 7,550 cfs. Look for the Mutant stone fishing to improve with each of these small drops in cfs. Also today 9/4/13 the river is running very dirty from Hiese down to Menan, the tremendous rain/thunderstorms we have had lately have caused some run-off from farms in the area. The river above Hiese has not been affected and is still fishing well.

Fall run browns are beginning to show up in the Madison River above Hebgen Lake. Rainbows will follow soon. Fall green drakes (hecuba) are showing up in Soda Butte and Slough Creeks and the Lamar River making for another component for great dry fly fishing. Terrestrial patterns along with Epeorus life cycle patterns are also in the mix. Fall River Basin streams feature morning trico activity with terrestrial patterns taking over for action around mid day. Thunder showery weather will result in best action on all these streams.

Most reliable part of the river for fishing is the Warm River to Ashton stretch. During daytime hopper and chernobyl patterns trailed by a bead head nymph or rubberlegs trailed by a bead head nymph pattern bring action.  Big browns are reacting to streamers early and late in the day. Evening and morning streamer fishing will become more effective as we move through autumn months.
