Henry’s Fork 6-26-12

Gray drake emergence on the lower river was pretty sporadic this year. It’s pretty much over now, but green drakes, flavs, PMDs, and gobs of caddis are active.  Fish are responding to these between Ashton & Chester dams. Late afternoons are best times for fishing, especially after 7 PM when wind begins to die and most folks are gone from the river. Yes, the river is somewhat discolored because of activity at Ashton Dam, but that does not seem to hurt the fishing much.  From Warm River to Aston same emergences are going on, but fish will take a dry golden stone pattern, too.
