Small Streams, June 7th, 2022

All Caribou-Targhee National Forest roads in the Island Park area are open excepting the Ashton-Flagg Road east of Calf Creek Hill. Many roads now open may be wet because of recent precipitation. Remember that roads being wet enough to become rutted should be avoided and drivers caught causing such are subject to fines.

Many headwater streams are high with run-off and will remain so for a while as weather warms.This includes Teton and Fall Rivers drainage streams and Robinson Creek. Blackfoot River below the reservoir is running high with irrigation water. Warm River is in fishing condition near the Warm River campground and around Warm River Spring. Caddis and may fly life cycle, soft hackle, small nymph, and traditional dry attractor patterns work well. All Salt River tributaries in Idaho (Jackknife, Stump, Tincup, Crow Creeks) and Palisades Reservoir tributaries ( Bear, Big Elk, McCoy Creeks) are high but in fishing shape. Roads accessing these are open excepting the Jensen Creek Road.
