Montana Fish Report

Fishing on the Upper Henry’s Fork has been at a steady incline lately. The colder weather snaps we’ve experienced have hopefully pushed back some of our hatches and gotten us to operate on a more normal schedule. There are some golden stone shucks on the Osbourn Bridge as we’re starting to see those flying more consistently.  Dropping a #16 Peacock Blowtorch below a #8 H.F. Foam Stone Golden can be extremely effective in Box Canyon as well as Wood Road 16, down through Riverside Campground. A #6 or #8 Pat’s Rubberlegs in black will feed fish, but as we are anticipating Green Drakes soon, a #10 Tungsten Bead Rubber Legs can imitate both the green drakes and the stoneflies at the same time. Near Wood Road 16 we’ve experienced massive caddis hatches in the evening. Use a #18 Hemmingway or a #16 missing link to imitate this hatch. The fish in Box Canyon have been extremely responsive to white streamers, so grab some #4 Articulated Goldies from the shop.
