Out of Town

The fishing on the Green this week remained very consistent with great dry fly fishing, particularly in the mornings. Although I have not fished it, the reports from the South Fork from Scott Smith have also been very good...the upper river has also really popped, with good attractor fishing and great fishing in the riffles with fish hammering PMD's. I did guide on the Snake last Monday from Pacific Creek to Deadman's Bar with a local client who wanted to test the waters. We picked up a few nice fish through the day, but overall, it was a struggle. With the water clearing every day and the Buffalo Fork continuing to drop, it really should be any day now for the Snake. The major tributaries are starting to do well also...good reports coming in from the Hoback and Gros Ventre rivers. Only one more week until Flat Creek opens on the Elk Refuge! I'm away for a few days, taking a break off the oars...back on the water Monday. More from the Snake next week!
