Eastern Idaho Fishing Report 6/2/23

Henry's Fork: The current flows out of Island Park are 1,140 cfs. We are seeing salmonflies flying on the lower sections. If you lift up rocks you will find a ton of salmonfly nymphs. A dry dropper should produce fairly well. Henry's Fork salmonfly #4 as the dry fly with a Pat's black rubber leg #8 or #10 below should do the trick. Don't be afraid to fish off the banks a bit. There are have been some fish eating caddis as well. Feel free to stop by our Ashton Fly Shop for a daily report, 1051 Hwy 20 Ashton, ID 83420 208.652.3008, open 7 days a week 8 am – 5 pm. South Fork: Flows are currently at 14,000 cfs. Nymphing is going to be the most productive with eggs, SJ worms, rubberlegs, and zebra midge variations. Streamers and leeches will also work. Water clarity is improving, the best fishing and conditions will be in the upper sections but canyon is starting to shape up. Stop by our Driggs Fly Shop 76 N. Main Street Driggs, ID 83422 208.354.1200, open 7 days a week 8 am - 5 pm. Teton

Boise & Owyhee River Fly Fishing Report 6/2/23

Boise River In-Town: The Boise River in-town is still high and is unsafe to fish. South Fork of the Boise: The South Fork of the Boise River is open to fishing but flows are currently around 4,400 cfs which are too high to safely wade. Owyhee River: Flows are great at 200 cfs. Primary hatches consist of midges and BWOS. Caddis are present to varying degrees as well. Dry fly opportunities have been spotty but are there if you are trying to find fish looking up. Nymphing as usual remains the most productive (juju baetis in blk or purple #18 or #20, split case pmd's, olive and blk zebra midges) and streamers are always an option. Midge and BWO hatches should continue to increase in volume and become more consistent. PMDs should also start making more of an appearance as the weather heats up. Have fun and stop by TRR Outfitters in Eagle or call (208) 939-6065 to stock up on some flies, purchase your Owyhee fishing license, or book a guided fishing trip.

Eastern Idaho Fishing Report, 5/19/23

Henry's Fork: The current flows out of Island Park are 1,260 cfs. Fishing has started to improve but you will still need to dig deep and work hard to catch some fish. You are going to want to have zebra midge variations; black, red, etc., olive bullets #16, toddlers olive and black #14 or #16, and rubber legs. Seems like the best dry fly activity is in the early evenings (5-7pm) with peacock caddis. Streamers may also work in black & olive. Warm River is still high and a little off color but is starting to show some life again. A few salmonflys were spotted flying around the other day. I would be sure to have some salmonflys, March browns, and caddis on you for those fish looking up. I would also have some rubber legs and olive bullets. Henry's Lake has been producing. Small black or red chironomids, small black leeches, and large white articulated steamers have been working when stripped super slow. Be sure to stop by our Island Park Fly Shop for lake flies and our good friends at Drift Lodge to pick up anything you need for Henry's Lake. Feel free to stop by our

Owyhee River: Flows are currently at 168 cfs, water is a little off color, and it sounds like flows may be increasing in the next week or so.

Stripping leeches can also be productive in natural tan or black. There have been some midges, blue wings, and some caddis hatching. You can try using an Elk hair caddis #16 or #18.

Eastern Idaho Fishing Report, 5/5/23

Henry's Fork: After a long winter filled with lots of snow, the thaw is on, and the snow is melting quickly. The current flows out of Island Park are 624 cfs. It is tough fishing out there right now. With the warmer days we had at the beginning of the week the river is up and off color. At Warm River, there are plenty of Mother’s Day Caddis coming off, but not many heads up, using rubber legs and smaller bead heads will be the most productive but be sure to have some peacock caddis and parachute Adams on you in case you spot a rising fish. From Ora to St. Anthony there are blue wings and midges coming off, but again, not many rising fish. Subsurface you will want to focus on zebra midge variations; black, red, etc., olive bullets #16, toddlers olive and black #14 or #16, rubber legs, split case bwo’s #16 or #18. Streamers may also work in black, olive, white, or black/olive. With rain expected to move in this weekend, stay safe and enjoy!
