We've finally turned a corner this week with some of the local fishing. The South Fork is now down to more reasonable flows...about 16,000 cfs and I've heard through the grapevine that there are lots of bugs up and down the river. It sounds like it will level around 13,000 cfs in a few more days. Once those fish have settled into their new water level, the dry fly fishing should light up. Until then, stonefly nymphs should work very well. Keep your eyes peeled for salmonflies and golden stones, along with caddis and maybe even some PMD's. The Green is now below 1,600 cfs and clearing; the fishing in Pinedale has drastically improved this week. Fish are being taken on gray drakes, and most stonefly patterns. The morning drake activity has been very thick. Dam to Pacific Creek on the Snake is still doing well...the rest of the river below the Buffalo Fork is still off color, but clearing daily. We should see good conditions on the Snake within two weeks. Here is Bob Maclean with one of a handful of monster browns that fell for dry flies near Pinedale on Tuesday...nice fish!
