Bear Gulch

It is time to try terrestrial patterns on nearly the whole river above St. Anthony. Catching and releasing will be toughest on fish from Ashton Dam downstream. From Ashton Reservoir to Warm River as well as the Cardiac Canyon section provides the best fishing on the lower river. You will find the Cardiac Canyon section to be the least crowded section because hard sided boats are not legal ( rafts and flotation devices only) there and walk-in fishing is pretty much the name of the game. Flow out of Island Park dam is down to near historic levels and top water fishing below has picked up. Bead head nymphs are producing in Box Canyon and any pattern the size of a hopper or golden stone fly will also bring action there, but be tolerant of recreationists.
