Springtime in the Rockies




Well, the weather just does not want to cooperate. It still continues to be cool and wet here in the region. The runoff is moving very slowly still, so we're still in a holding pattern on the Snake, Green, New Fork and most of the tributaries. The good news is that the Firehole continues to fish well and there have been good reports from Jenny Lake. Scott Smith went up on tuesday and did well, netting both lake trout and some cutthroat. The salmon flies are still around on the Henry's Fork, but the water is still somewhat high and off color. Despite this, it sounds like it's been decent fishing. The South Fork peaked late last week at 19,500 cfs and they are now dropping the levels. It's at 15,500 cfs today and will hopefully go a little lower. Within the next week or so, it should turn on nicely. Stay tuned. The above picture is a beautiful South Fork cutthroat taken on an adult PMD last July.
