SNAKE RIVER - The Snake is still a bit high and will remain so for the rest of the month, but fish are
still taking drys. The key there is to fish some of the side channels and look for small spots where
there isn’t quite as much current. The Bureau will cut the water level about the end of September to
winter flow level. When that happens we may just see some of the best fishing on the Snake we have
seen all year. If you’re planning on a fall visit, October is the time.
Drop into our store and talk to one of our fishing professionals. We have over 700 fly patterns in stock
and we can choose what will work the best.
SOUTH PLATTE RIVER - Crowds seem to be gone for the most part and fishing conditions are good.
Fish are on black midge larva and tan scuds and the stockers and smaller Browns will wack a wet fly
like a brown hackle peacock. A few big Browns are moving in now.
YELLOWSTONE LAKES - FIREHOLE: The Firehole has cooled a little and the fishing is picking up.
Caddis and terrestrials will produce there.
LEWIS LAKE: Lewis can be good at this time of the year. The Macks are moving into the shallows in
preparation of their annual spawn. Bright streamers with some yellow are best. You can also still catch
some browns at the south end of the lake using wet flies like Black Wooly Buggers and Zonkers.
YELLOWSTONE RIVER - The cooler weather will slow dry fly action a bit on Fall River Basin streams,
so switch to streamers and nymphs. The same applies to Beula Lake: switch to small beadheads and
small leech patterns until Indian summer days return. A few Hebgen Lake 'bows and browns are going
into the Madison, but peak of the run is a few weeks away. The same is true with browns moving into
Lewis River Channel from Shoshone and Lewis lakes. A few green drakes remain on Slough and
Soda Butte creeks and the Lamar River, but there are more BWOs and terrestrial forms around on
each. Attractor patterns remain a good bet on the Gallatin River. Caddis and BWOs are bringing
some action on the upper Firehole and the Gibbon rivers. Mornings are best times to be on these.
