Henry’s Fork, June 24th, 2023

Green Drakes are out on the lower river with best concentrations below Ashton Dam to above Chester backwaters. Although they inhabit many section of the river, this is the best hatch in terms of numbers. They may have peaked here, but there are enough to make a visit worthwhile. Days with higher relative humidity, little wind, and even overcast will bring out the best concentrations. But as with the feeding on stoneflies a few weeks earlier, they will become filled and head to the depths to digest. A strategy is to give them time to digest, then come back later with life form patterns, and you will have some action.
