Low flow conditions across the Teton system. Focus on deeper pockets and shaded water to find active fish.

Lower Henrys Fork is in the thick of seasonal hatching activity. Expect caddis and PMD spinner falls to drive the evening bite, with daytime action sporadic but present. Green Drakes should arrive shortly.

High water at 13,200 CFS means using heavy flies like rubberlegs and jigs to reach holding fish in the deeper current.

Below-normal flows keep upper Teton sections off-limits, but lower reaches near town fish well on nymphs and streamers.

The Henrys Fork was fishing well in early June with declining salmonflies giving way to Golden Stones and Caddis. Flows around 600 cfs provided solid conditions across the Box Canyon to Riverside section.

The Saint Joe is fishing well with robust flows and excellent hatch diversity. Salmon Flies and Golden Stones are present alongside a mix of smaller patterns that include March Browns, Yellow Sallies, Drakes, Caddis, and PMDs.

Anglers are concentrating effort near the hatcheries as conditions deteriorate midweek. Water temps are stressing trout; fish early and late.
