Conditions

The Henrys Fork is winding down but still productive across the Box Canyon to Riverside stretch. Flows have dropped to 718 CFS as of August 26, making wading much more feasible and opening up dry fly opportunities after earlier high water. Caddis and PMD hatches are active, with strong terrestrial action from hoppers and large Mormon crickets. Water quality varies downstream, Box Canyon holds cleaner water, while Ranch-area sections are murky; consider fishing cleaner inflows like Osborne Springs or the Harriman pond entry for better visibility and fish response.
