: Henry's Fork: Fish survival throughout this river and any other depends so much on water temperature during summer. That is because of the inverse relationship of dissolved oxygen to water temperature. In other words, the higher the water temperature the lower the dissolved oxygen content. This concentration below six milligrams per liter of water brings on difficult survival conditions for salmonids. The Henrys Fork has locations where this level is approached during afternoon hours, and when that temperature is nearing 70 deg. F. or more, it is time to find cooler water in which to fish. Salmonids caught and played at this temperature level and higher have more recovery difficulty induced by the stress of being caught and played, and the larger the fish the more difficult recovery becomes. Thus consider using a thermometer to check afternoon water temperatures wherever you are on the river, and give the bows, cutts, brookies, browns, and even whitefish a break by moving to a cooler water location. Henrys Fork Foundation has another river cleanup coming up on July 30th from 9am-3pm. We will be starting at Ora bridge in Ashton, then stopping at access sites such as Chester, Fun Farm, Del Rio, Bubble Land, and Red Road. If you are interested in participating, please let me know! Lunch will be provided as usual, and we can provide transportation for a limited number of volunteers. 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. |
