: Salt River: Almost overlooked by many fly fishers is the autumn run of brown trout out of Palisades Reservoir into Wyomings Salt River. Some of its hosted browns and those from the reservoir migrate into tributaries flowing from Idaho. Jackknife Creek, Stump Creek and particularly Crow Creek receive a portion of these brown trout, and both have flows enough for this migration to take place this year thanks to the big snowfalls of last winter. Jackknife Creek flows through National Forest land. Private land abounds on Crow and Stump Creeks, but a diplomatic approach can gain access from time to time. Reported by: |
