The Green is still clear and low, with some stretches becoming too low to float in most boats, but this consolidates the fish to certain, easy-to-read areas like deeper pools. Nymph and dry-dropper rigs have yielded the best results, with some of the larger fish playing lately.

The New Fork is fishing quite well throughout, with above-average flows for this time of year. The fish can spread out, and there isn’t as much southern migration as usual. Fishing for numbers here is still doable, with nice fish mixed in intermittently.

The Green below Fontenelle is fishing well, but the moss is still a problem. The upper reaches of the river toward the dam is still your best bet, but within a week—with the cooler weather moving in—it should kill lots of the vegetation.

The Bighorn is fishing well lately, with lots of the action still coming off on top, and the necessity for deep dredging nymph rigs is not prevalent. Hopper dropper rigs are killing it, especially in the middle of the day when the sun is up above. Mornings and evenings are still seeing strong hatches of PMDs and tricos, and we expect to see BWO’s hatching soon.
