Small Streams 8-25-12

We found that fish in the Grey’s River were quite cautious until a few PMDs came out late last Thursday afternoon. They loosened up a bit then, and we landed a few gorgeous Snake River Fine Spotted cutts.  If you have never visited this classic freestone stream, consider doing so.  It is  just a few miles east of Alpine, Wyoming.  The countryside, even with the prevailing haze, is as beautiful as it comes.  Above the Murphy Creek Bridge fishing is legal with flies and lures only. You can buy a license ($14 for a non-resident single day) in Alpine, and stop for a “stick-to-your-ribs” breakfast.  Take a good camera, terrestrial and PMD life cycle patterns.
