A strong emergence window featuring Pale Morning duns, Western Green drakes, Salmon flies, and Spotted Sedge caddis. Low flows concentrate fish in slower water.

Flows have jumped recently, making conditions mixed across the stretch. Mormon Crickets dominate the bite alongside solid Golden Stone, PMD, and Caddis hatches.

Strong Golden Stone action and stable flows make the Henrys Fork a solid choice right now, with boats reporting consistent daily results.

The Big Lost River is fishing great across both upper and lower sections, with strong Golden Stonefly, Little Yellow Sally, and PMD hatches in play.

Normal flows and stable conditions on the Henrys Fork make it a reliable choice right now. Expect steady water with clarity holding up through the near term.

Covers Jun 10–17

Expect high flows to keep the Big Lost challenging early in this outlook window. Water levels should trend downward as the week progresses, gradually opening up wading opportunities on the lower section. Scout the upper valley during high water; plan a return trip once flows recede.

Golden stones and heavy evening caddis are fueling steady improvement on the upper Henrys Fork. Expect Green Drakes to emerge soon.

The Fork is fishing well through Box Canyon as Golden Stones and Caddis take over from declining Salmonflies. Upstream sections have been variable, but rising fish reward early-morning focus on classic June patterns.
