Box Canyon
Good fishing. Fishing in Box Canyon is good. Try beadhead Prince Nymphs, Red Copper Johns, and Olive Tungsten Midges. We are seeing quite a few Golden Stone adults throughout the canyon. Try a Yellow Stimulator, Madam X, or Mystery Meat, sizes 6 and 8.
Last Chance & Railroad Ranch
Fair fishing. The fishing on Harriman state park is improving a little. The PMD hatch is getting better, and there are lots of Yellow Sallies. The Brown Drakes have been on the last few days, with good spinner falls late in the afternoon on cloudy days. We are starting to see a few Flavs on the Ranch, but we have yet to see the Green Drakes really pop.
Riverside Campground to Warm River
Good fishing. For dry flies, try Golden Stones and Caddis. Subsurface, the best bets are beadhead nymphs (Copper John, Prince, Hare's Ear) and stonefly nymphs.
Warm River to Ashton Reservoir
The Warm River to Ashton section has some excellent fishing right now. For dry flies, fish are taking Golden Stones, Caddis, and PMD’s. Beadhead nymphs like Prince Nymphs and Copper Johns always take plenty of fish.
From Ashton Dam Downstream
The fishing below Vernon Bridge has slowed a little, although it’s still pretty darn good. The Flavs are still hatching, but in smaller numbers, and mostly later in the day. We’re still seeing lots of PMD’s and Caddis. Spent Caddis and Rusty Spinner imitations are really important for morning and evening fishing down there.
Henry's Fork Tributaries
Fall River is still a little higher than most people like to see it, but it’s running clear and the fishing is good. Try olive Caddis Larva imitations, beadhead nymphs, and small Rubberleg nymphs.
The small streams in the lower Henry’s Fork and Fall River drainage are fishing well. Warm River, Robinson Creek, and other small streams are producing lots of smaller Brook, Brown and Rainbow trout. Anglers are taking fish on attractor dry flies and beadhead nymphs.
Henry's Lake & Island Park Reservoir
The lake fishing has improved a little. We’ve heard rumors of several fish in excess of 10lbs, taken on fly rods, out of Henry’s Lake. Try California Leeches, Olive Rock Chucks, Halloweens, and the other usual standards.
