Hatches

The fishing has been red hot around Western Wyoming and Eastern Idaho in the past few weeks, perfect timing for me to head back and jump on the oars. I'll be leaving Portland bright and early tomorrow, heading back to Jackson for a 6-week guiding stint. Don't be a stranger if you're in town. The South Fork has been fishing very well on big bugs, and the Green and Snake have also been very productive on dries. Area tributaries are also coming into prime shape, so grab your pack and take a hike to your favorite remote fishery. For those of you that have not seen or heard of this video and story behind it, click this link to SunValleyMag.com to hear about a truly amazing fishing story. Silver Creek Outfitters media specialist, Bryan Husky, was invited by legendary guide Pete Wood to spend an evening filming Dr. Robert Franklin (known to most as "Doc"), as he headhunted for fish eating through the prolific Brown Drake hatch.

We sometimes make plans months in advance, and often drop everything to chase a hatch.
