Hot Fishing

Fishing around Jackson has come into its own lately. Just
about every river and stream is fishing great right now, with
clear water and eager fish. I’ve been out with folks, fishing
numerous places.

The Green continues to fish well with grey drakes and
yellow sallies. Mornings are best, but fish have been rising
throughout the day to well presented dries.

The Snake is clear and full of rising cutthroat trout. We’re
currently seeing lots of smaller fish (6-12″) take PMDs, golden
stones and yellow sallies in the riffles. Hot weather has also
brought the first of many hoppers out, and it won’t be long
until we are fishing bigger patterns. I suspect that larger fish
will start feeding on the surface shortly….

The Dubois area is also coming into it’s own. The Wind
river is clear and fish can be fooled with nymphs and hatch
appropriate dry flies. Tributaries in the area are all good
options for the adventurous angler (just be sure to pack your
bear spray and mosquito repellent). Look for some great
hatches in the evening.

Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks:

David caught a beautiful rainbow on the green; fooled it
with a well placed rusty spinner.
