The flow on the Green has doubled in a week, and visibility is pretty low. Look for fish to move toward the banks and behind structure with little current. Fish big bugs and get them down deep. Darker colors are going to show up a bit better in the dirty water, and flashy material might be helpful for attracting fish, too. If we maintain these water levels and clarity improves, expect to find active fish and the potential for some really good days.

The New Fork is fairing a bit better than the Green for the time being. Visibility on the lower river is not great, but the river is still in pretty good shape above Boulder and clear above Pole Creek. We have been seeing midges, caddis, BWOs and a few risers when there is some cloud cover, but nymphing with small attractor patterns or streamer fishing has been the most productive. If the cooler overnight lows improve clarity on the lower river, expect some good fishing with bigger bugs such as stones, worms, and big streamers.

Water levels are still steady below Fontenelle Dam, and the fishing continues to be good. We have seen some good midge and BWO hatches as well as some caddis. Fishing subsurface has still been the most productive, and aquatic insect activity has been good. Scuds, streamers, BWO nymphs, and caddis pupa have all been producing fish. Now is a great time to get down here and look for some shots at some really big fish.
