NOTICE: KEEP AN EYE ON WATER TEMPERATURES
With drakes abounding and big browns feasting, the New Fork and Green rivers have certainly entered their pinnacle season. It has been warm here in mid-afternoon so be sure to check water temperatures as you’re fishing. Drakes are working their way up the river systems, and the fish are keyed into food on the surface. Big foam is the go-to for practically every stretch of the river when there isn’t an active hatch.
Rivers
Never miss a fishing report.
Recent Reports
Green River
The Green near Daniel has seen substantial pressure lately but has fished well through it. Most of the activity is on the surface, with fish eating drakes mid-morning and shifting to big foam mid-day. Skating peanuts in riffles and hopper-dropper rigs have proven productive recently.
CFS
Flies to try
Circus Peanut, Guide Winna Spinna, Warrior Perdigon
New Fork River
The New Fork has had an incredible start to the summer with drakes and golden stones in excess. Drakes have been hatching mid-morning, while stones are sporadically throughout the day. Bugs come and go, but the fish are eating on top regardless.
CFS
Flies to try
Flash Cripple, Galloup’s Working Girl, Dancin’ Ricky
Seedskadee
The Green below Fontenelle has been fishing well, with action coming from all over the water column. Some terrific fish have recently come from small to medium streamers, and lots of fish are still coming from nymphs. Chubby Chernobyls have also been fruitful with the patchy hatches of stoneflies.
CFS
Flies to try
Micro-Dungeon, Magma Mysis, Chubby Chernobyl
Bighorn River
The Bighorn has been quite finicky lately, with high amounts of moss and debris in the river. There is a scheduled flush that should clean up the riverbed a bit and make it easier to fish. Tricos have also been hatching, and hopper-dropper rigs have been effective.

Flies to try
Parachute Trico, Yeti Hopper, RS2
