Small Streams, July 23rd, 2022

The Teton River in the basin is fishing well for dry fly enthusiasts with PM caddis activity and spinner falls providing late in the day action. PMDs, sallies, and a few green drakes and golden stone flies are around. Our comments on recreational boating traffic on the Henry’s Fork apply to these waters as well. Dry fly fishing in the canyon via the Bitch Creek Slide, Felt Dam, Spring Hollow and the dam site is also good, with streamer patterns also producing. Be fully aware of rattlesnakes if you venture past stream-side locations in the canyon.

Palisades Reservoir tributaries (Bear, Big Elk, McCoy Creeks) and Palisades Creek are in good fishing shape with caddis life cycle, terrestrial insect and traditional attractor patterns working well.
