The Henry's Fork is beginning to fish well after a few weeks of high water. PMD's, Callibaetis, caddis and terrestrials like hoppers, bees, beetles and ants are brining some fine fish.

The Gallatin continues to fish well all the way from the Park line to the mouth of the canyon. Mayflies like pink ladies and large Rhitrogenia sp can be counted on every afternoon and evening to bring good trout to the surface. Hoppers and beetles are working in the Park section not too and attractors like PMX's, Royal Wulff and Trude Cripples will bring up good fish. Nymphing anglers will score with Wired and original Dips and Micro-Madison PMD Nymphs. Spruce moths can be found along mile marker 50-65 so be ready with imitations.

The Madison is fishing well with hoppers in the Park. Downstream of Hebgen Dam and to Earthquake Lake can be good both early and late day using nymphs like Shop Vacs, $3 Dips and rubber leg stones. Big Streamers can work too like woolheads and pearl or copper Zonkers. Below Earthquake Lake things get interesting on the river and proper fly pattern really begins to make a difference assuming presentation is spot on. In the mornings you can find egg-laying caddis in select spots below Raynolds Bridge and near $3. Daytime action will be spotty but those searching water with beetles and ants will do well as will nymphing anglers fishing Wired Dips and unweighted $3 Dips in all likely holds. The forecast calls for afternoon showers and cloudy conditions so it pays to have Cam's Skittering PMD and Steve's Epeorus Duns when the Epeorus do emerge and they will do so on overcast days in big number. The evenings are grand if you are in the right spot that seems to change daily. I've done well downstream of the West Fork lately but the past 2 nights the fishing has been stronger near $3 and Raynolds when Epeorus spinners fall at dark. Caddis times are sporadic and spotty but this week we will see the last caddis of the season to provide consistent fishing opportunities begin to emerge and this will continue for a few weeks. #17 Iris in green and tan as well as a #16 Tan and Olive X will give you some great fish. Be on the lookout for midging fish in soft margins and pockets below $3. You will note noses coming out of the water as well as fins and backs of trout as they take midges, give 'em a Zelon Midge #22 on 5.5x tippet and be ready for a good run and jump. Do not allow the big browns to rock you or run into the boulder fields or you'll be coming by for more midges.

I'd love to tell you Hebgen Lake is giving consistent gulper action but it has not. The Callibaetis mayflies are coming off now in number but recent morning winds have things muddled. Again, the forecast is for clouds and calm winds late this week into the weekend so let's keep our fingers crossed. Evening caddis have been strong on the Madison Arm and ants are good now on the north side of the arm.

Wade is fishing well during ant activity and some spruce moths as has Cliff Lake. Elk Lake is worth the drive and same with Hidden although the road is very dusty and bumpy and some folks have had tire issues I hate to report.

In the Park Heart and Riddle as well as Sylvan, Grebe, Wolf and Cascade Lakes have been great all during Callibaetis and damsel times.

On the northeast side of the Park Slough Creek is low and clear and the fishing can be good for those willing to make the hike. The Lamar is best hiking upstream towards Cache Creek and Soda Butte will fish well above Ice Box and near the junction with the Lamar River. Make sure you have SLS Sparkle duns, #22 Slough Creek Baetis, cinnamon flying ants, Longhorn Beetles and Yellowstone Bees.
