LOWER SHOSHONE – The river is in good shape all the way down to Alkali Creek. Golden stones and salmon flies are migrating to the edges in the canyon below the dam and fishing has been fantastic. Stonefly nymphs in a size 6-10 under a chubby has been the ticket. Nymph, dry/dropper and streamer rigs are all producing in town and further down river. Chubbies, duracells, optic nerves, pine squirrel leeches, thin mints and rusty trombones.
BIG HORN / WIND – Toss dry/dropper or nymph rigs in the shallower faster riffles. Perdigons, sow bugs, worms, Ray Charles, pine squirrel leeches, yuk bugs, thin mints, 9 lb hammers, cowbell craws, yuk dusters and zirdles. Lots of grass!
NORTH FORK – The river is closed to fishing below Newton Creek until July 1st! Blown out.
SOUTH FORK – Blown out.
CLARK’S FORK – Blown out.
GREYBULL / WOOD – Blown out.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK – Look for rising fish on pale morning duns, caddis and salmon flies on the Firehole, Gibbon and Madison. Swinging soft hackles is also a good option. Yellowstone Lake is fishing well with a chironomid or balanced leech under a bobber, or sight fish the cruisers with a streamer.
NEWTON LAKES – Chironomids and balanced leeches under a bobber. Strip scuds, damsels or callibaetis nymphs. Damsels, callibaetis, ants and beetles on the surface.
LUCE/HOGAN RESERVOIRS – Chironomids and balanced leeches under a bobber. Strip scuds, damsels or callibaetis nymphs. Damsels, callibaetis, ants and beetles on the surface.
