The Green has been fishing well, especially in sections where more water is available. Fish are sitting deep with this high sun, so when they don’t want to eat on top, try a heavy streamer or dropper/nymph rig. The water is very low so practice caution when floating in a boat.

The New Fork certainly has more water than the Green as is typical for this time of year, but it is still low. Dry fly fishing grassy banks has been productive with flying ants and smaller terrestrials. Medium to large streamers have been producing in low light conditions and in the mornings and evenings.

The Green below Fontenelle has been fishing well. The moss is a problem, as is expected during fall, but it doesn’t seem to be as bad as usual. Clear troughs will be the best for throwing nymph rigs, but fish will still feed on larger attractors on top.

The Bighorn River near Thermopolis has been productive, especially on top. Their lower elevation has kept temps a bit warmer so their hopper/terrestrial season is still on fire. Hoppers have been great, and PMDs and Tricos are coming off in the morning.
