Fishing Reports, Henry's Fork

 Use snow shoeing or cross country skiing if you want to fly fish the upper river. On the lower river there are good wading conditions at just below the Ora Bridge and around the Vernon Bridge. Float fishing between the two bridges also encounters good action. Smaller fish rising to emerging BWO and midges makes for the fast fishing during the waning daytime hours.

Fishing Reports, Still Water

IDF&G has released aged spawning rainbows in Mackay and Springfield Reservoir. They are big: ranging upward to ten pounds, but they are not pretty and they are not rugged fighters. Those that hold over through the winter will become worthy adversaries by spingtime. Leech patterns slowly retrieved seem to be a good way to attract them.

With these low flows  (882 cfs at Irwin, 1450 at cfs at Heise, 750 cfs at Lorenzo) the river is tough on hard sided boats and near deadly on jet boats.  That means gel coat patches on rocks and required knowledge of main channel locations.  Palisades Reservoir is down to near one third of capacity, so water managers are intent on filling it.  Wading is a best option, and much of the river is open to it. Be gentle and limit playing time so trout have a better chance to recover.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Fork

Winter fishing conditions have arrived in Island Park. The Tubs and Box Canyon are the best places to pitch streamer patterns. Afternoon BWO and midge hatches provide some top water fishing for a few hours on the lower river, and it looks like we will have good streamer fishing especially with the unsettled weather predicted for this weekend and beyond.  Dress warmly!
