Our Henrys Fork fly fishing report offers advice on each river section from Box Canyon, the Ranch, Warm River, and Ora Bridge downstream.

Warm River to Ashton - Caddis are thick!

Submitted by Lines and Tines on Tue, 04/28/2015 - 11:10am

Water is a little high causing a majority of the fish to group towards the bank, with a few feeding in the middle. Dry flies are catching fish! Throw a size 12 or 14 elk hair caddis at the bank. Also try a rusty spinner later in the evening. Flows out of the Island Park dam are currently 537cfs,...

water is to warm for dries now

The water temp is like 70 degrees now and the fish are down deep so the only thing working now is throwing streamers on the banks and nymphing most of the time use a rubber legs stonefly and drop of some sort of a beaded nymph like a prince in about a size 12 or 14 that should work well.

The Fork Below the Ashton Dam

Submitted by Lines and Tines on Fri, 06/07/2013 - 9:52am

It seems the really hot fishing below the Ashton dam is off a week or two. I fished using a caddis and had a couple fish strike and landed a small brown, but my hope was getting into consistent rising, which was not happening. Looking forward to the big mayfly hatches that usually start up in mid...

The salmon flies are just finishing up in the box so use a salmon fly as an indicator and drop off either a stonefly nymph or a small copper john or other small bead head.

There are still reports of a lot of big bugs on the Warm River to Ashton section of the Fork, but the fishing has slowed to a stand still. The fish must be stuffed to the gills. The hatch is moving up river making the slide...

Henrys Lake Outlet

Submitted by Lines and Tines on Thu, 08/02/2012 - 9:22pm

The Henrys Lake outlet fished very well recently. We caught several fish - mostly small, but a couple of nice 15" + fish all on a black and red Chernobyl Ant with a prince dropper. The word on the street is fishing is better in the high elevations with the relentless heat baking the waters in the...
