Henry’s Fork, September 2nd, 2023

With the great overhead cover coming during this weekend’s stormy weather, streamer patterns should be very effective, Box Canyon, above and below Coffee Pot, and the Tubs areas on the upper river should be good locations for trying these. On the lower river, with its great brown trout population, deep runs, undercut banks, submerged structure, soft water below islands, are among good locations for browns. Evenings will be the best time for trying streamers anywhere on the river. Also proper presentation trumps pattern selection.

If streamers are not your preference, BWOs will make an afternoon appearance when cloudy weather prevails around certain locations, but peak activity will come later this month..

Bring a raincoat anywhere you venture on the river this weekend!
