With the upcoming months of February and March being important months for snow, it’s very good news for the upcoming fishing season. The Henry’s Fork basin is 88 percent, and the headwaters of the Snake River, just above Palisades Reservoir is at 90 percent.

Great fly-fishing expected throughout October!

Sunday, August 28th, 2011

As you may or may not know, the fishing in September is usually very good on all rivers throughout East Idaho; including the Henry’s Fork, South Fork, and Teton Rivers. This season was a little bit late, due to the amount of snow and rain we got this winter and spring. We are expecting the fishing to continue to be amazing until late October. September in October!

We are extending our fishing season until October 31st. If you’ve been wanting to experience the amazing fall fishing experience on our blue ribbon trout streams, now is the time! We are filling up quick, but, still have some open availability in October.

South Fork Fly Fishing Update

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Water flows at Irwin are at 13,600. There is dry fly fishing in the soft spots and on the gravel banks. The water is pretty dirty but as it clears fishing should explode! The best technique would be a Golden Stone with a nymph below, a Yellow Sally, or a streamer. Fish on!

Henry’s Fork is Fishing great! South Fork update.

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Green & Grey Drakes are out in full force on the Henry’s Fork! The water has dropped and the weather is perfect. Also watch out for golden stones, caddis, and pmd’s.

The South Fork is running just about 23,000 cfs. Pallisades is already at 90%, it should be full in a few days. Hopefully it will not go over 23k. There have been people having some success on nymphs & we’ve been seeing some salmon flies & golden stones down below Lorenzo. No dry fly action yet.

Golden Stones, PMDs, & Caddis are out in heavy numbers.

Try big dry-flies close to the banks, a variety of small mayfly nymphs. Drakes are popping out sporadically…

Streamers are very effective as well.

Spring Snowpack Update

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

We’ve still been receiving a lot of snow in the mountains of eastern Idaho.  I’ve had about 15″ in the last 8 days with a little falling every day.  Reservoirs should be at full capacity after runoff and stream flows should be good all summer.  Looking forward to a good year.  Starting this year Idaho changed the regulations so most rivers are now open to fishing all winter on a catch-and-release basis.  But it’s still kind of tough to get to the river in Island Park.  I took these photos of my yard on March 19, 2011 and thought if might be fun to show you what it’s like here in spring.  Between the orange and white poles stuck in the snow my Honda Element is parked.  I’ve shoveled it quite a few times but haven’t seen it for months.  In the second photo you can see the front left corner of my camp trailer peeking out of the snow.

East Idaho Snow Pack

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

We’ve had an excellent snow year so far in eastern Idaho.  The Henry’s Fork basin is at 110% of average snow pack with snow depths of 3 1/2-5 feet in the Island Park area and snow falling as I write this.  The South Fork drainage is at 112% of average snow pack with 3 1/2 feet of snow on Pine Creek Pass.  Island Park and Palisade Reservoir are in good shape and should fill easily when all this snow melts.  If you’ve never been here in winter check out these web cams:
(Teton Valley near Driggs)
(Osbourne Bridge / Railroad Ranch)

So we shouldn’t have any shortages in reservoir controlled rivers and the smaller streams like Fall River and the Teton should have plenty of water to get through the hot weather of summer.  This should translate to good fishing conditions all summer.

I’m having great skiing but I’m really looking forward to getting out on the water again…
