The Green has been fishing a little slower lately. Areas with a steeper grade seem to be holding less fish as fish look for water that does not require as much energy to hold in. Nymphs down deep and small heavy streamers have worked the best in deep slow areas. We are still finding some nice fish holding in areas with structure where they can get out of the current.

The New Fork is still fishing well with both nymphs and streamers. There has been some midge activity to get fish going, and some big fish are still aggressive on streamers. If you are wading around, there are a lot of redds in the shallows, especially in the upper sections around town, so try to avoid walking through them. Deeper holes where riffles drop into buckets have been good areas to target with nymphs. Stripping streamers is still working well around structure, along eddies, and in deep holes. Make sure you get those streamers deep. Fishing heavy streamers with barbell eyes and a sink line has been effective.

Below Fontenelle Dam is where we have had some of our best fishing recently, and is likely where much of our fishing focus will be in the coming weeks. We have continued to see really good midge activity, and had some nice fish on crayfish patterns and streamers. We have found fish in deeper, slower water, but many fish are still actively feeding in moving water in tailouts and along seams.
