Henry’s Fork, June 30th, 2023

Golden stone flies are still around up and down the river. Some may flies have peaked (green drakes, gray drakes, March browns) and others are yet to peak ( brown drakes and flavs on the upper river). Afternoons will be the best times for finding the brown drakes and flavs.

The other happening that will begin its season is recreational floating. Going through Box Canyon and Big Springs to Mack’s Inn will have the biggest concentrations, but they will also be common through Harriman State Park to Riverside campground. Be patient with these folks as most of them have yet to form an etiquette. Gently explain to them that you realize they have a right to the river, but we appreciate you giving anglers present enough room to enjoy what they do. To be sure, you will learn a lot about human nature through these encounters.
