Outlook

The weather has definitely been trending in a positive direction, and we will be in prime time before too long. Our guide schedule is filling up quick, so if you are considering a trip this season be sure and book soon. 'Looks like it's going to be another beautiful weekend, so expect water levels to continue to trend up from snow melt and clarity around town to be slightly dirty. Bigger bugs should work well in these water conditions, but keep an eye out for risers when there is some cloud cover. As flows increase, look for fish to move towards the edges of the main current and farther back in the tailouts.

Green River

CFS

Flies to try

Peach Fuzz, Mic Drop, Slayer

The Green has been on the rise recently and is pretty dirty below Daniel. The river is off-color at Warren Bridge, but still in pretty good shape and will be clearer the higher up you go. Streamers, small stones, and small attractor nymphs have all worked well. The majority of the fish will still be found in the long, deeper runs, but fish will begin to spread out and seek softer water with the increased flows.

New Fork River

CFS

Flies to try

Holcomb Golden Stone, Mod Maiden, Depth Charge Worm

The New Fork has risen slightly and is fishing pretty well. Clarity is pretty good but slightly dirty below Boulder. We are seeing lots of midges and BWOs as well as a few caddis. At times we are seeing groups of risers, but fish are still not looking up with any consistency. Lower on the river, big streamers and worms have been working well. BWO nymphs and Zebra Midges are good options farther up the river where clarity is better.

Seedskadee

CFS

Flies to try

Tung Jig Soft Spot, Hot Cone Bugger, Montana Grease

Flows have been steady below Fontenelle Dam and the fishing has been good. The warm weather has increased bug activity, and we have seen some really good midge and BWO hatches. Subsurface activity has been strong so scuds, sow bugs, and streamers are still great options. Look for fish feeding in riffles, but watch out for redds if you are wading.
