Yellowstone Park 7-7-12

July 7, 2012

Good reports are coming in from Beula Lake where small beadhead and damselfly nymphs are producing. The Firehole River is done for good fishing until September. Some PMDs and lots’a caddis remain on the Madison River for evening fishing. Some evening brown drakes remain on Duck Creek and meadow reaches of the Gibbon River. Fall River Basin streams are shaping up with run-off about finished. Look for their green and brown drakes to begin emerging. Right now PMDs and sallies are just beginning to bring surface feeders on all Basin streams. The Gallatin river is also free of run-off and giving good PM fishing with active caddis and some golden stones.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

Damselflies are bringing action on several places around the lake. Try in front of creek mouths including Targhee, Howard and Duck . If these locations get crowded look for channles in the weeds and for spring holes to try your luck.

Henry’s Fork 7-7-12

Fishing Reports, Henry's Fork

The lower river has entered the usual summer doldrums. So go to the upper river for best fishing. Box Canyon offers good nymph fishing with you favorite small bead head patterns or medium sized rubber legs. On the Harriman-Last Chance reach the brown drakes are winding down, so spinners and caddis bring best evening action. PMDs bring mid day action with emerger patterns producing best. Later in the afternoon flavs emerge and bring action.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Fork

With green drakes passing their peak, start looking for flavs. Brown drakes are making for great evening fishing, especially on the lower part of the Harriman reach. Evening caddis and AM PMD spinner falls are going on everywhere on the river.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

Damselfly hatch is going on. Don’t have to say much more, but look for channels around weed beds for action.

Big Lost River, Fishing Reports

With 550 cfs coming out of Mackay Dam wading remains tough in the river below. Best fishing is in or on just below Copper Basin right now. Look for caddis, PMDs, sallys, golden stonefly and traditional dry patterns to bring action.

Fishing Reports, Still Water

To be sure, midging under an indicator will get you action on all reservoirs. But we have reports of fishing taking adult damselflies on the surface on all reservoirs, even on days with some wind. So now is the time to get your “dry fly reflexes” tuned up before the gulper season begins.

Big stoneflies are coming up the Madison River. Some are in the Three Dollar Bridge area right now with peak further downstream but advancing.

Fishing Reports, Small Streams

Tim passed on some good info on Teton River and the South Fork tribs yesterday. Take his comment about warming water seriously, because many small streams will be impacted during what looks like a very warm dry summer. Now is a good time to look at the numerous smaller streams we have in the area and to consider a visit to some. Here is a “laundry list” of some to consider. Robinson Creek, Conant Creek, all Salt River tribs in Idaho, Bear Creek, Beaver Creek, Little Lost River and Sawmill Creek, Medicine Lodge Creek, Portneuf River, Buffalo River, Willow Creek, and Warm River are at their peaks for good fishing right now. The Blackfoot River above the reservoir opened to fishing two days ago, and you should consider a visit to it quite soon. The best is yet to come on the lower Blackfoot River, Big Elk Creek and Bitch Creek. That’s is quite a list of waters to give details on here. Contact us one way or another for details on fishing these. We offer solid information on all. Several will surprise you with size of fish, and for sure you will like the solitude.

Fishing Reports, Yellowstone Park

With the Firehole River warming up, everything else is shaping up. Caddis and PMDs (AM spinners, mid day to afternoon emergence) are making the Madison River in the Park a destination. Brown Drakes on the Gibbon River meadow reaches and on Duck Creek should be on your “to go” list for evening fishing. Green drakes are coming off in the meadow reaches of the Lewis River, below and above Lewis Lake. The Ashton-Flagg Road is open giving access to Beula Lake. Fall River Basin streams remain high because of snow pack remaining on Madison and Pitchstone plateaus. A bunch of us carried float tubes down Delacey Trail to Shoshone Lake last Saturday. Getting out on the lake in those tubes was a blast with juvenile macks, browns and brookies responding to small leech patterns presented on full sink lines. We had to place to ourselves!
