The Green is in good shape and still dropping by the day. It feels higher in the upper reaches and is still quite cold up high. However, the areas from Daniel and below are fishing well, with up to 5 feet of visibility and consistent hatches throughout the day. The hatch schedule is a bit off on the Green, as we are just now seeing Salmonflies, but they’re here in great numbers.

The New Fork is still higher than the Green, but from a drift boat is very productive. Drakes are in full swing as far north as Boulder and creeping upstream by the day. Golden stones and even a few caddis have been popping off, and the fish are looking for them, especially in the afternoon.

The Green below Fontenelle is still high, but floating can be productive. There are some bugs, but streamer fishing is the most productive means. Stick to inside softies and eddies.

The Bighorn in Thermopolis is still blown out, with clarity in the inches and dangerous flows. We predict the flows will drop again next week, and the bugs will pop back out. Until then, heavy, deep nymph rigs should get it done in slower water.
