Access is still difficult due to high snow quantities on roads and at access points anywhere below the dam area. Wade fishing is sporadically doable, but the Seedskadee Wildlife Refuge is no longer plowing the roads, so take any risk upon yourself. Fishing below Fontenelle, however, is often fantastic this time of year. Nymph and streamer tactics can yield large browns, but the rainbows are usually spawning down there this time of year, so steer clear of any obvious redds.

Thermopolis is quite a bit warmer than here in Pinedale, and the fish are active! Most of the activity happens in the afternoon when the water warms up a bit, but you can convince fish to eat all throughout the day. Most of what is working are simple nymphs like beadless sow bugs and plain midges. Dark and sparkly small to medium streamers have also been very productive. While there have been small midge hatches, the water hasn't quite warmed up enough to entice many fish to look up, but it's close. As soon as the water warms up a few more degrees on average, expect BWO's and midges on top and fish to show interest.
