Henry’s Fork 6-29-12

Along the Last Chance-Harriman reach green drakes are coming off during mid day, and a few flavs appear during afternoons. PMDs are making for action during daytime with AM spinner falls also bringing responses.  On lower the lower Harriman State Park reach brown drakes are making an appearance evenings. The peak of that event is yet to come.  Expect crowds when you fish anywhere here.  Want to enjoy fish responding to green drakes, some PMDs, and later in the day caddis without crowds of fly-fishers? Go to the Nature Conservancy’s Flat Ranch reach on Henry’s Lake Outlet. The drakes emerge from about 11AM to 2PM with some fish responding to PMDs. The caddis take over later. In general the fish run smaller than on the Harriman reach, but don’t let that fool you because some dandy hybrids inhabit the Flat Ranch reach. Also a few rare three to four pound cutts could surprise you.
