    With year around fishing on some stretches and others opening on Memorial Day weekend, the Henry’s Fork in Island Park has been far from deserted since early May. In the minds of most, however, the season does not truly begin until fishing is allowed in the Harriman Ranch. As much a social…

    The fishing season here on the Henry’s Fork fired a little sooner than usual last week with the arrival of the Salmonflies. Our quiet little fishing village exploded with energy almost overnight. On most years, we don’t witness this occurrence until the Memorial Holiday Weekend, but with…

    In anticipation of sun eclipsing mobs of Salmonfly adults, the native anglers here get a little up-tight and walk around with a hard case of itchy trigger finger, twitching helplessly with a nervous tic for hours on end. A few quick hours on some of our local still-waters is a quick and sure…
