Updated 08/7/08
Fishing in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem continues to improve. We are seeing some increased temperatures, but this does not rule out fishing during the "dog-days" of summer. With the massive snow pack we had this winter, many rivers are fishing well during August, unlike previous years. This is a great opportunity to check out that "Local Water" that receives little pressure and is full of hungry aggresive cutthroats.
The hot summer days also means hoppers and lots of them. Hopper fishing has already heated up on the Lower South Fork and Teton, look for them to become more prevalent on the Snake and other tributaries in the next couple weeks. Look to get on the water earlier in the morning or late in the evening, avoid some of the mid-day fishing pressure and enjoy a nice siesta during the warmer parts of the day.
Tight Lines!!!
If you are visiting us in Jackson, be sure to check out the fly selection at the Orvis Jackson Hole Store, it is one of the best in the Western U.S. Kevney and Brown are as helpful as they come and can point you in the right fishing direction.
If you have any questions or need up-to-minute fishing conditions, don't hesitate to give us a ring @ 208-787-0082 or 307-733-6934

 Firehole River Yellowstone National ParkFlow: 266 cfs [08/07/08 11:01 AM]
Fishing on the Firehole is petering out, but other rivers in the park are providing plenty of action. Slough Creek has seen some incredible dry fly fishing for big cutthroat, and the Gardener and Gallatin rivers have fished very well with big dry flies. More and more options are opening up to anglers as park rivers continue to drop and clear.

Green River Warren Bridge, Wyoming
Flow: 536 cfs [08/07/08 11:33 AM]
The Green has still been fishing well early in the morning and late in the evening. Leftover Grey and Brown Drakes have still been hatching as well as PMD's, Yellow Sallies and Caddis. Hopper and other terrestial with droppers are working well during the warmer parts of the day.

Henry's Fork Island Park, Idaho
Flow: 1310 cfs [08/07/08 12:06 PM]
The Henry's Fork is still fishing well. Flows have increased out of Island Park Dam but this will not mess with the fishing much. Nymphing is still the best method of catching fish but look for fish eating dries in slower slack water banks. The Ranch is an early morning and late evening program. Callibaetis and Caddis and the leftover PMD are hatching, don't forget to bring your "A" Game. The Lower Henry's Fork has been hot and cold. Hoppers and Caddis have been working the best, but I would wait a couple weeks until we get some cooler days and nights for these sections to start fishing better.

Salt River Star Valley, Wyoming
Flow: 527 cfs [08/07/08 12:10 PM]
Little has changed for the Salt River. Dry fly fishing continues to be consistant with Smaller Hoppers, PMD's, Yellow Sallies and General Attractors. Streamer fishing has been good in the mornings and the few overcast days we have had this summer.

Snake River Jackson, WY
Flow: 5610 cfs [08/07/08 12:14 PM]
The Snake is fishing well. Nymphing still has been producing the bigger fish but dry dropper combos will become more important in the weeks to come with the hoppers we have been seeing buzzing around. Parahoppers, Grand Hoppers and Smaller Chernobyl Ants paired with BH Princes, BH Red Copper Johns and BH Hare's Ear will work the best. Give The Jackson Hole Orvis store a call at 307.733.5407 for up to the minute reports on the Snake and other waters near Jackson.

South Fork of the Snake Irwin, Idaho
Flow: 12900 cfs [08/07/08 11:54 AM]
The South Fork continues to fish well. Similar to other rivers in the area, we are seeing the fishing slow down during the warmer parts of the day. Hoppers and Terrestrials have been producing some fantastic dry fly fishing on the lower South Fork. You'll have to get them tight to the bank but if you can keep them there long enough, something big will eat.
Riffles are still fishing well but the fish are starting to get smart. Smaller tippets and more technical flies are key. When focusing on bigger fish, work hard to identify the lifestage of insect they are keyed in on and try especially hard to deliver an accurate cast.

Teton River Teton Valley, Idaho
Flow: 474 cfs [08/07/08 11:39 AM]
The Canyon sections of the Teton are still fishing very well. Smaller Golden Stone Patterns and Hopper Patterns have been producing some nice fish in the Canyon. The fishing has slowed during the warmer parts of the day but a simple dropper can fool the others.
The upper valley is fishing well early and late in the day. This can be a technical section of river, so be prepared with light tippets and smaller dry fly presentations. Hoppers in the valley can produce some nice fish this time of year.
