Summer is Here


The warmer temps are finally here, along with all of the RVs. We're seeing daytime temps into the high 70's with nighttime lows now above freezing. Summer has officially started in Jackson Hole. Along with it, most of the area freestone rivers and streams have doubled in size and completely muddied up. I guided on the Green River on Monday, from campground #2 to the Daniel Fish Hatchery. The river was slightly off color and slowly rising. Fishing was surprisingly good in the afternoon. My sole client netted three measurable browns and a handful of small rainbows on chernobyl ants. It was probably the last day for awhile...the river has more than doubled in size since then and is now totally blown out. I spent today on Jenny Lake with good friend, and fellow Jack Dennis guide, Scott Smith. We had a great day of fishing, landing numerous lake trout as well as some nice cutthroat on leech patterns. Here's a photo of Scott trying to spot some fish.
