Henry's Fork River - July 15th, 2004 supplied by: [url "http://www.fisheyesoup.com/redir.php?recKey=108,re"]Henry's Fork Anglers[/url] FISHING: Good River Stage and Stream Flow [[url "http://waterdata.usgs.gov/id/nwis/current?type=dailystagedischarge&group_key=NONE&search_site_no_station_nm=Henrys"]click here[/url]] Box Canyon Good fishing, mainly in the afternoon and evening. Try beadhead Prince Nymphs, Red Copper Johns, Olive Tungsten Midges, and small Rubberlegs. A few PMD's and Flavs are hatching in certain areas. Last Chance & Railroad Ranch The fishing on Harriman state park has improved a little. We are seeing Caddis, PMD's, and a few Flavs. You aren't going to see blanket hatches with dozens of rising fish, but there are just enough bugs to bring a few big fish to the surface. If you'll spend some time walking and stalking, you'll find some fish to cast to. 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 and Rubberlegs are the best bets for subsurface fishing. From Ashton Dam Downstream The fishing below Vernon Bridge has slowed a little, with most of the action occurring in the morning and evening. The main hatches now are PMD’s and Caddis, with a few Flavs still emerging in the evening. Spent Caddis and Rusty Spinner imitations are really important now. Henry's Fork Tributaries Fall River, Warm River, and Robinson Creek are clear and wadable. The fishing has been good with green Caddis Larva and Pupa imitations, Beadhead nymphs, #12 Stonefly Nymphs, and attractor dry flies. 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.
