The Green near Warren Bridge and below is low and bony, but in the deeper holes, browns are staging for spawn, and rainbows are waiting on food coming off the redds in the coming weeks. Streamers have been decent, but dragging a nymph rig along the bottom of the deeper holes has been working great.

The New Fork has more actively spawning fish spread out in the shallows of the river, but in the deep holes, streamer tactics have been very productive. Fast stripping with a short sink tip has been good, so the trout don’t have a chance to study the fly with the low, clear water. Some nymph fishing also has its place, especially with the high sun we have seen this past week.

The Green below Fontenelle has finally seen a dramatic improvement in moss presence and feels fully fishable again. The browns are behind on their spawn with warmer temperatures further south, but keep an eye out. There is a possibility for dry fly activity, but most eager hits will likely come from subsurface.

The Bighorn has had an incredible and long dry fly season this year and doesn’t show signs of stopping. BWO’s and PMD’s are still hatching on most days, with blue wings on cloudy days and duns on sunny days. There is a possibility of some mahoganies beginning soon, as they are popping up in some similar nearby fisheries.
