Fishing Reports

Jimmy's All Seasons Angler / Fishing Reports (Page 100)

South Fork 11-2-19

Flow out of Palisades Dam was dropped to 990 cfs (1420 cfs at Heise) yesterday.  This action will make boating tougher, but makes walk-in wade fishing a more attractive alternative. Hopefully this will be the last flow reduction this year.

Small Streams 10-29-19

Current weather makes traveling over back country roads to some of our small streams downright dangerous because of blowing, drifting snow and wind chill. Consider checking with county road maintenance operations before going to such as the Blackfoot River drainage or the Teton River drainage.

Main Stem Snake River 10-26-19

Flows are dropping making either walk-in wade or fishing through boating practical.  Migrating browns are the big attraction and respond to well placed streamer patterns whether presented through boating or wading. Consider that there are more brown trout in the main stem from American Falls Reservoir upstream than in the South Fork and the lower Henry’s Fork.

Yellowstone Park 10-26-19

Winter has arrived meaning accessing certain waters is no longer available. To see which roads are closed o the the Yellowstone Park web site and look for road closures.  Sunday, November 3rd is the last day for the 2019 park fishing  season.

Henry’s Fork 10-26-19

Weather like we are having today may be difficult with the snow, wind, and falling air temperatures, but it is almost perfect for success through pitching streamer patterns for migrating browns. This applies to anywhere on the river below lower Mesa Falls to the South Fork confluence.  Dress accordingly!

South Fork 10-26-19

Flow out of Palisades Dam has been steady at around 2100 cfs for  week.  Further reductions in flow are coming as the Palisades Reservoir water storage season is upon us.   Look for winter to increasingly impede your comfort as you fish on the surface for fish attracted to BWO activity or pitch streamers to those aggressive migrating browns.

Still Waters 10-26-19

Springfield Reservoir is offering good fishing for those presenting midge patterns under an indicator once the taking depth is found. Small black or purple leeches presented on intermediate lines also produce action. Daniels Reservoir is also producing through using the same tactics, but watch the weather before going there via the Dairy Creek Road. Crystal Springs Pond will be stocked with hatchery catchable rainbow trout next week.
