LOWER SHOSHONE – Nymph, dry/dropper and streamer rigs are all producing. Chubbies, hoppers, rubber legs, 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. Tricos have trout up in the mornings. Chubbies, hoppers, perdigons, sow bugs, worms, RS2’s, Ray Charles, pine squirrel leeches, yuk bugs, thin mints, 9 lb hammers, cowbell craws, yuk dusters and zirdles.
NORTH FORK – Significantly more trout of size downstream of Wapiti now than the rest of the river system as the water drops and the trout migrate back to the reservoir. Caddis, ants, beetles, hoppers and attractors have trout looking up. Toss small stonefly nymphs or jigged soft hackles like Duracells and Optic Nerves under a Chubby.
SOUTH FORK – Dry/dropper fishing with a Chubby or hopper and rubber legs or jigged attractor nymph like a Duracell or CDC Pheasant Tail below it has been good. Yellow Sallies, caddis, drakes and PMD’s are popping. Trout are also taking hoppers, ants and beetles. Stripping streamers has also been consistent.
CLARK’S FORK – Dry/dropper and streamer rigs are producing. Chubbies, hopper, ants, rubber legs, Duracells, Optic Nerves, CDC Pheasant Tails and rusty trombones.
GREYBULL / WOOD – Both are fishing well. Hoppers, ants, beetles, and attractor dry flies like Micro Chubbies, stimulators, and Amy’s Ants are working well.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK – Hoppers, ants, beetles, crickets, spruce moths and rusty spinners on the the NE Corner streams (Lamar, Soda Butte, Slough) as well as the Yellowstone River above the falls.
NEWTON LAKES – Very warm. Damsels, ants, beetles, chironomids, scuds and balanced leeches.
LUCE/HOGAN RESERVOIRS – Very warm. Damsels, ants, beetles, chironomids, scuds and balanced leeches.
