We are about where we should be with respect to good fishing on small streams. The big exception would be streams draining the west slope of the Grand Teton range. Huge amounts of snow higher up are keeping these waters high.  Right now there are several areas where you can find great small stream fishing. To name a few: the Sinks drainages (Medicine Lodge, Beaver, Birch, Camas, Little Lost, Pleasant Valley,Sawmill): Salt River tribs (Jackknife, Tin Cup, Stump, Crow), South Fork (Bear, Fall, McCoy, Pine, Palisades, Big Elk): Henry’s Fork (Warm River, Robinson Creek, Buffalo River). As you can see, we don’t have room here to discuss individual waters, so get in touch or visit us for details.

Some of these are rounding into shape.  These include the Salt River tribs which can offer some good browns and cutts.  Look for sallys, caddis, PMDs and a few golden stones to be present. Along with their life cycle patterns traditional attractor will be effective.

Add Robinson Creek to the list of good small waters now offering good fishing.  It’s a great small stream with brookies, browns, cutts, rainbows, and a few whitefish thrown in.  They take almost anything offered, but right now for specifics, caddis, sally, golden stone, and PMD life cycle patterns work.  Sure, most of what you tie into will be a foot or less, but there are some real surprises here, especially in the lower reaches.

Any area stream that drains high country is full of run-off thanks to our recent hot weather.  This includes Grand Teton Range west slope drainages, Salt and Grey’s river drainages, Fall River Basin streams, and South Fork/Palisades Reservoir tribs.  Small streams that can be fished include Birch Creek (of course),  Tom’s Creek,  Chick Creek, Squirrel Creek, and  Warm River. This hot weather will mean run-off aplenty for a while yet, but when it ends the choice of quality small waters will be almost endless and each will offer great action.

At last some are beginning to shape up.  Beaver and Camas creeks are worth fishing.  So are Tincup and other creeks flowing out of Idaho into the Salt River.  Try beadhead nymphs, San Juan worm, and wooly bugger variations. On July 1st several South Fork tributaries open to fishing.  Post spawning cutts to big sizes are likely to be in Bear and McCoy creeks.  Woolly buggers and small streamers should interest these fish. If you are looking for small brookies, try Tom’s and Chick creeks at the top of the Buffalo River, Squirrel Creek, and upper Warm River.

Birch Creek remains the only one ready for fishing, and it is offering some great times for those bringing light weight fly gear.  Wet and dry attractors, BWO and caddis  life cycle patterns will bring afternoon action in the family area  and in the diversion.  These are mostly wild fish.  The creek between Lone Pine and the diversion is heavily fished and is full of planters.

Birch Creek is by far the best, but wait for the holiday crowds to leave by Monday.   It’ll be a while before waters drop on most others—we’ll let you know when these shape up.

Birch Creek family area and the diversion  remain the best choice for small waters. Any small stream draining high country is full of run off now. Birch Creek is the exception.
