Conditions
Water's running clear and fishable with stable conditions at the Island Park gauge on August 8. Heat will climb toward 86°F with afternoon winds building to 9 mph, so hit the dry fly action early. PMDs are moderate from 9 AM to 1 PM, and terrestrials become heavy by mid-morning. Shift to weighted nymphs in deeper runs as temperatures rise, and consider hoppers and ants in tan and purple to match what the river's showing. Smoke in the air may affect your fishing window.
