Small Streams, June 26th, 2024
Other than those in the Teton River drainage, small streams have rounded into good fishing shape. It is early enough in the season that wet flies are most productive, but a few streams have PMD, yellow sally and minor BWO hatches. The number of good small streams is too large to discuss here, but if you have youngsters wanting to fish, Birch Creek in the family fishing area above Lone Pine tops the list. Beaver Creek above Spencer and Little Warm River are other good choices. Good, but more challenging waters include McCoy and Idaho’s portion of Salt River tributaries, Warm and Buffalo Rivers. Be aware that South Fork Tribs open to fishing on July 1st in order to allow cutthroat trout to complete spawning.
