It's springtime in the rockies right now. We've gone from a string of days with temps in the 80's to a few days with heavy rains in the valley and snow at the higher elevations. There's not much fishing right now...virtually all of the rivers and tributaries in the region are blown out with muddy runoff. A few of the tributaries of the Snake came within inches of flood stage this week after all of the heat. After record breaking snowfall this winter, it's going to get worse before it gets better...there's still a lot of snow to come down. Your best bet right now within a few hours of Jackson is either the Big Horn river in Thermopolis or the Henry's Fork in Idaho, just below the Ashton dam. The good news is that fishing in Yellowstone opens on saturday. There are many options up there for cleaner water and good hatches. More soon!
