LOWER SHOSHONE – Flows are around 1225 cfs and the river is fishing well. Fish the edges and soft water with nymphs or streamers. Hopper/dropper rigs are also picking up fish.
BIG HORN / WIND – Flows are around 1300 cfs. Trout are sipping tricos in the mornings. Hopper/dropper rigs on the edges and in the riffles are picking up fish above and below the surface, or nymph the seams with sow bugs, sunken tricos, crawdads and worms.
NORTH FORK – There are significantly more trout in the lower river as the flows continue to drop. Fish above Sleeping Giant, the bigger tributaries or down towards the reservoir for the best luck. Toss a hopper/dropper rig with a stonefly nymph or jig soft hackle. Nymphing and streamers are both catching fish as well.
SOUTH FORK – Fishing well with a hopper/dropper or nymph rig. Drop a bigger stonefly nymph or toss a streamer to catch less whitefish and more trout.
CLARK’S FORK – Terrestrial and attractor dries up in the forest. Hopper/dropper and streamers below the canyon.
GREYBULL / WOOD – Both are fishing well. Terrestrial and attractor dry fly fishing has been fantastic.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK – Hoppers, ants, beetles, crickets and Drakes on Soda Butte and Slough Creeks, as well as the Lamar River in the NE corner of the park. Hoot owl restrictions are now only on the Firehole River and its tributaries.
NEWTON LAKES – Still warm but cooling off. Fish early or late. Damsels, chironomids, leeches, flying ants and beetles.
LUCE/HOGAN RESERVOIRS -Very warm but cooling off. Fish early or late. Damsels, chironomids, leeches, flying ants and beetles.
