Fishing Reports, Today at Jimmy's

So many of us want escape the crowds currently present on our icon waters and to realize some tranquility on our vast array of quality back country waters.  But to do so the roads there must be passable. Here is the latest info for some roads in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest.

In the Palisades District the Bear Creek, Elk Creek and McCoy Creek Roads are open. The Jensen Creek Road remains closed.

In the Island Park district, The Yale-Kilgore Road and the Fish Creek Roads are open. The Snow Creek road to Teardrop Lake should open soon but will be rough. The Horseshoe Lake Road is passable with rough spots. The Cave Falls Road is open and is in very good shape throughout because of improvements made last fall. The Ashton-Flagg Road opens on July 1st because of remaining snow at higher elevations and a rough surface.

In the Dubois District, The road to Aldous Lake is open and the road from I-15 to Kilgore is open.

BWOs are beginning to show in better numbers. Try the drop-offs into deep water as well as riffles. Rubber leg and steamer patterns continue to produce.  Flow has been almost constant with few minor increases around the middle of this week.

Fishing Reports, Still Water

The irrigation reservoirs to our the south and east ( Chesterfield, Daniels, Treasureton, 24-mile, etc) are beginning to produce. Leech patterns, midge pupae under an indicator ( find taking depth), damsel fly wet & dry patterns, all work. It seems best to be on the water early in the day. Consider that these reservoir will be running low as demands for irrigation water increase in what looks like another hot dry summer coming up. So best fishing be from now into the next several weeks.

The big stonefly event is beginning to run out. The Coffee Pot area is its “last stand” and some action remains in Box Canyon. Next up will be the big may fly events of gray and green drakes beginning on the lower river with emphasis above Chester Dam. Watch for these in significance  to trout any day now.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

From what we have heard, opening weekend  featured good fishing.  Fish must be remaining in shallower water and so are easier to encounter. The lake is more than 100% full which a good condition for staying cooler longer. This suggests that good fishing should remain in the near future.

Both Chesterfield and Daniels are offering improving fishing. It is too early for significant speckled dun and damselfly activity on most still waters, but dragonfly nymphs are an early season food form that trout key on. Big and relatively numerous, they offer a great reward for the capture effort. Any big leech or rubber leg pattern presented during the early season in still waters will be effective in imitating these nymphs.

Still offering an uncrowded and tranquil alternative to the dense and somewhat hectic masses on the Henry’s Fork. Flow is slightly less than normal with clear, cold water ( 11400 cfs at Irwin, 12600 cfs at Heise, 6420 cfs at Lorenzo).  Use the same patterns we have suggested for recent reports.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Fork

The big stone fly hatch is spread out along much of the river. Some remain on the lower river which up to now has been crowded with drift boats, rafts, and walk-in anglers. Look for Box Canyon to host a big portion of it, but the Riverside area on down into Cardiac Canyon will hold a lot of these bugs.  Boats will be out ” en masse” in these water down to Hatchery Ford.  If you want to get away from them, try the Bear Gulch area, go to Mesa Falls State Park and walk upstream, or walk downstream from the Hatchery Ford area. Include caddis fly life cycle patterns in your fly box. Afternoon caddis hatches can be dense throughout the river, and fish can key on them even though the big stone flies are out.

Fishing Reports, Yellowstone Park

We have all grades of Yellowstone Park fishing permits  ( Season : $75, 7-day $55, 2-day $40) and regulation booklets.  These are also available on line through the park web site: www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/fishing.htm. Park boating permits are available only at ranger stations.

The Firehole River will offer the best early season fishing here, so expect company. BWO life cycle, white miller, and soft hackle patterns are usually the most effective during the early season.
