Outlook

Looks like we are going to have some good fishing weather for the rest of this week. The forecast is calling for warm, overcast days and possibly a bit of precipitation, which will hopefully lead to good fish and insect activity. We have been getting some new patterns in the shop that have proved to be pretty productive, so stop by and check them out before heading out. There are a ton of fishing options available right now with a bunch of different water conditions, so anglers can find success using a wide variety of techniques. Choosing which section to fish based on the technique you want to use can help you to be more successful.

Green River

CFS

Flies to try

Duracell, Yellow Spot Jig, Mongrel Meat

The access road at Warren Bridge is open up to the second access with only one mound of snow blocking the road just above the second access. The water is still very cold up that far, but we have found some success running nymphs through the deeper sections. Below Daniel, the Green is still a bit dirty but fishable. Streamers have been most productive down lower. A few of the tribs coming out of the Wyoming Range are still running dirty, so clarity is decreased as you get farther downstream.

New Fork River

CFS

Flies to try

Barely Legal, Anatomical BWO, Backflop Jig

The New Fork has been fishing pretty good with some big fish coming on streamers. The river is running low and clear so get your flies into the deep holes. We have seen some midges hatching on the warmer afternoons, and with the warm, overcast weather, we may see some BWOs hatching. Midge and mayfly nymphs are good options right now. If we get some precipitation this week and the water becomes off-color, make sure you have your worms ready.

Flies to try

Precious Metal, Flyweight Scud, Hot Head Pheasant Tail

The water level has been on the rise below Fontenelle Dam, but conditions have remained good. Streamers, scuds, and BWOs have all been fishing well. We have seen BWO hatches in the afternoon with a few risers but nymphs are still your best bet. We have seen a lot of Whitefish while nymphing so if you want to focus on larger Trout, sticking to streamers may be the better option, but you will likely catch far fewer fish.
