Henry’s Fork, August 17th, 2024

Because of cooler late summer air and less daylight, we are past the dissolved oxygen and water temperature concerns of the year for the upper river. This means that catch and release fishing throughout the day generally will not stress subjected salmonids. So beginning with the AM trico activity on to when terrestrial insects, speckled dun mayfly and caddis fly activities take over, enjoy what the river offers

( be sure to have flying ant patterns in that fly box ). It will be a few weeks before these thoughts apply to the lower river.

A UNIQUE TOUR AVAILABLE AUGUST 20

Every year, the Henry’s Fork Watershed Council hosts a “Watershed Tour”. Participants visit sites within the watershed where water issues or key projects are occurring. This year, the tour will focus on Island Park Reservoir, Island Park Dam, and Last Chance Wastewater Treatment Plant to discuss the theme of water quality in the Henry’s Fork Watershed. The reservoir portion of the tour will be conducted via pontoon boat, so participants must RSVP to [email protected] to reserve a spot. The tour is scheduled to run from 9 AM – 3 PM, Tuesday, August 20th. For more information, please email [email protected].
