Mud!

The last week brought beautiful spring days to the Tetons. This
weather kicked the spring runoff into full gear, trashing area
waters and putting fly fishing the Snake and its tributaries on
hold for a few weeks. Because it’s been so sunny and warm, I’m
thinking rivers will clear and start fishing earlier than first
thought. Despite this, there are still plenty of places to wet a
line; the most obvious being area lakes.

Many of our lakes fish best in the spring and offer anglers the
chance to sight-cast to cruising trout. In fact, while we were
fishing a sand flat last week, I couldn’t help but feel like we were
fishing for bonefish; casting in front of moving fish and getting
their attention with a twitched fly. Very cool! Expect the lakes to
fish well for a while, with smaller, higher altitude lakes becoming
a destination once snow melts and ice comes off.
