With the Annual Jackson Hole One Fly Tournament long gone and kids back in school the pace has noticeably slowed in the area. The same can't be said for the fishing however. The fall is a great time of year for the resilient angler, who relishes the cold, cloudy and even snowy days on the water. The thought of big browns on streamers and prolific baetis hatches are more than enough to get him/her out of bed in the morning. So make sure you get those waders back out of the closet from June and stock up that streamer box for the truly exciting fishing ahead . . .
In an effort to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in the Greater Yellowstone Area, WorldCast Anglers is working closely with local management agencies to get the word out about the threat these organisms pose to our fisheries. If you are fishing in our area, please take time to check out the following website for more information about aquatic invasives and how to prevent their spread:

WorldCast River Reports
 Firehole River Yellowstone National ParkFlow: 274 cfs [10/01/09 05:06 PM]
While the hopper fishing will likely shut down with the cold front, there is still plenty of good fishing to come. The Firehole, like the Henry's Fork, is turning on for the fall season. Dry fly action has been consistent with caddis in the evenings and the Baetis have been more active as a result of the weather. We should start to see the big migratory browns moving into the madison out of Hebgen Lake in the near future as well. Good fishing can also be found in the north end of the park, and if you are in the area you will want to check out the Lamar River, Slough Creek as well and The Gallatin.

Flat Creek Jackson, WY
Flow: 120 cfs [10/01/09 05:26 PM]
Flat Creek has fished pretty well of late and we have heard of a couple big fish coming out. The cold weather should only make things better. Instead of Tricos and hoppers, the stealthy angler should focus on the midge and BWO hatches. A purple haze, or purple haze cripple is a great searching pattern to have in your box this time of year on Flat Creek. You may encounter some left over mahoganies and PMD's as well, so don't leave them at home quite yet. As always, your best bet is to stalk rising fish, keep a low profile and make a calculated presentation - take your time, do it right, and you may be rewarded with some big cutthroat!
Green River Warren Bridge, Wyoming
Flow: 188 cfs [10/01/09 05:27 PM]
As the weather continues to cool down and the clouds roll in, streamers are definitely the way to get into some big fish. The browns will likely begin moving out of the reservoir soon and the more resilient angler could be rewarded with a nice trophy instead of a warm cup of coffee by the fire. If the streamer bite isn't on, baetis and midge hatches could provide some exciting sight fishing opportunities as well.

Henry's Fork Island Park, Idaho
Flow: 446 cfs [10/01/09 05:38 PM]
446 cfs at Island Park
1240 cfs at Ashton
The Henry's Fork is turning back on in a big way. We've gotten some very good reports on the lower river, from Ora to Chester and down. The Ranch could be a good dry fly option with the usual fall diet of midges and baetis. Also, nymphing below the Ashton dam with rubber legs and small mayfly imitations should produce some good action. Browns in pre-spawn mode will be waiting to smack a stripped streamer down in the lower river, and cooler temps should mean increased insect activity. Below Lower Mesa Falls we have seen some excellent nymph fishing for fat feisty rainbows. If you had written the Henry's Fork off in August, it's time to put it back on the radar as one of your best options this fall!

Salt River Star Valley, Wyoming
Flow: 646 cfs [10/01/09 05:59 PM]
While the terrestrial action may have slowed down with the arrival of fall. There is still plenty of dry fly fishing to be had with midges and baetis patterns. You may also find the occasional left over PMD or drake that still may nab a nice willing cutty. On the cloudy days to come you shouldn't leave home without your streamer box as some bigger browns start to move out of Palisades Reservoir and up the Salt.

Snake River Jackson, WY
Flow: 3650 cfs [10/02/09 07:59 PM]
-Flow is at Alpine.
The one fly is now long over and I'm sure some of the participants are glad the colder weather decided to wait for them to leave town. However, they will be the ones missing some of the best fishing on the snake this year. Now, instead of throwing hoppers, anglers should be sure to stock up their small dry box for the trout sipping midges and baetis. Small, dark colored may fly imitations like a parachute Adams or Hare's Ear will continue to work as well as the venerable purple haze.
Also, here is some news on the Snake, including the fall ramp down schedule and shocking dates,
Monday, October 5th - 1875 cfs to 1528 cfs Tuesday, October 6th - 1528 cfs to 1213 cfs
Wednesday, October 7th - 1213 cfs to 942 cfs Thursday, October 8th - 942 cfs to 700 cfs
Friday, October 9th - 700 cfs to 500 cfs
>
>The reductions will take place in at least 2 increments per day.

Also, we are planning the Snake River population estimate for October 12, 13, and 15th. We will start at the Wilson Bridge and end near the Fish Creek confluence.

South Fork of the Snake Irwin, Idaho
Flow: 6010 cfs [10/01/09 06:48 PM]
While the foam fishing may slow down with the cold weather, I wouldn't take them out of your boat bag quite yet. Foam bugs still have the potential to take some fish on slow, inside flats during sunny mornings. Overall we've gotten good reports. The baetis have woken up in the last couple days as expected and the trout have noticed. Fishing has been best in the shallower and slower water, especially as the browns continue their pre spawn migration. Nymphing with brown and black pat's stones and lightning bugs is always a good choice when the dry fly fishing is lackluster. The nastier days of the approaching winter should result in some memorable action on streamers, so be sure to grab your favorite streamer pattern out of the vice instead of hitting the snooze button. You could be rewarded with a 20+ inch brown!

Teton River Teton Valley, Idaho
Flow: 339 cfs [10/01/09 07:40 PM]
Just like much of the water in the area, we're hoping the cold will jump start the Teton in the valley. As always staying in front of other boats is beneficial. If you are wading, hiking a good distance from the easy access points may result in a couple more eats. Some Tricos may still be around, but baetis and midge patterns will be the calling cards for the remaining season. A small streamer like the JJ Special is a good choice when the clouds roll through or some wind shuts off the dry fly action.
