Strong streamer and nymph fishing on the Teton as fall approaches, with grey drakes, mahogany duns, and BWOs on the water.

Clear water and dropping flows are opening up better wading on the flatwater. Start with small nymphs and switch to terrestrials as the day warms.

Flows are moderate and dropping into a comfortable range, with Mutant Stones and small stoneflies active. Overcast skies and light turbidity near the source make for solid midsummer fishing downstream.

Summer hatches are firing on the South Fork with Mutant Stones, PMDs, Yellow Sallies, caddis, hoppers, and terrestrials. Water temps at 66°F support both dry and nymph patterns.

Clear water and stable flows are opening up wading on the Henrys Fork, with strong terrestrial and PMD hatches through the day into evening.

Clear water and eased flows have dramatically improved wade access on the Henrys Fork, with PMD hatches dominating midday and terrestrials active throughout the afternoon.

Flows are stable around 6,000 cfs with cooling conditions and rain on tap. PMDs, Blue-Winged Olives, and terrestrials should draw fish.

Multiple summer hatches, Mutant Stones, PMDs, Yellow Sallies, and Caddis, are active on the South Fork, with stable flows around 5,950 cfs and comfortable 67°F water. Both dry and nymph tactics are worth exploring.

Clear water and stable conditions make the Henrys Fork fishable on August 8, with best dry fly action early before heat and afternoon winds build.

Smallmouth bass are the draw here, with rocky shorelines holding fish that respond well to crawfish and baitfish patterns on sink-tip setups.

The Fork is running elevated flows with fish keying on faster water and responding to morning stone hatches, PMDs, and evening caddis and spinners.

Summer conditions are prime on the South Fork with multiple hatches active and stable flows around 5,950 cfs. Dry flies and nymphs both work, pair them strategically through the Palisades to Heise stretch.

Dropping flows improve wading on the upper Henrys Fork, but high water temperatures demand smart positioning and early season timing.

Henrys Fork is running stable flows around 1,300 cfs with clear conditions. Watch for afternoon thunderstorm turbidity on the upper water.
