: Henry's Fork: Some of the best fishing on the river can be experienced on the Harriman reach where callibaetis and trico mayflies provide action. Terrestrial patterns including hopper and ant patterns are a must, and the South Fork strategy of trailing your favorite hopper with a cinnamon ant pattern (#14) is sure to produce. As with many meadow reaches the Harriman section also hosts deer flies and horseflies. Dont overlook this presence, and consider that a standard humpy, size 16-12 can imitate these pests. After you swat those pests, drop em in the river, then listen for a downstream rise. That is proof fish will take them! If you fish from Riverside to Warm River use those terrestrial and caddis patterns, but also include traditional attractors. Below the Warm River confluence fishing gets tough as the water now at base level has warmed going through the canyons. Best strategy for the lower river is to wait for the cooler days coming soon. Then look for a great revival of fish activity. Reported by: Jimmy's All Seaons Angler |

| Misc Info: -
The reach from Riverside Campground to Ashton Reservoir is now open all year, so anglers will be able to fish a new reach of river prior to Memorial weekend. Although access is difficult, the area offers excellent fishing and outstanding scenery. The Box Canyon reach of the Henrys Fork and the reach from Ashton Dam to Vernon Bridge opens the Saturday of Memorial weekend and should be very good early in the season. The warm weather is moving the timing of insect hatches a little early this year. The Harriman section of the Henrys Fork of the Snake opens June 15. This fly-fishing only section provides an opportunity to test your fly-fishing skills. The lower river is very popular in the spring and early summer. Please recognize that access on the lower river is dependent on willing landowners, so be courteous and respectful of private property. |
