Henry’s Fork, June 13th, 2020

 

All sorts of hatches are taking place on the river. The lower river still offers golden stoneflies hatching along with PMDs,  PM caddis and green drakes starting. Hopefully gray drakes will join this array.  On the upper river golden stones predominate over giant stoneflies and green drakes will start being important any day. PMDs and PM caddis offer action almost everywhere. All this means this near best of all trout streams is attracting fly-fishers in numbers in accordance with the variety and number of aquatic insects for trout to enjoy.  You will certainly have company almost everywhere on the river whether you wade or use a boat. Be patient and diplomatic. Remember that many visitors are coming from areas not as fortunate as locally with respect to the pandemic impact and social unrest. Show them how lucky we are to live in eastern Idaho.
