    Man, it’s been hot. 90 doesn’t seem too crazy for many of y’all suffering with 100+ degree heat and humidity, but at 6660 feet closer to the sun and no A/C, take my word for it. The trout are feeling it, too. That said, we are expecting a break in the coming days with highs…

    Short and sweet this week as not much has changed fishing-wise in the area the last week. Flows are still high out of the Box Canyon and temperatures are quite warm with highs in the mid 80s all week. We are hoping for irrigation demand to decrease in the coming weeks, but no promises as…

    It’s a hot one up here on the caldera! Temps in the low 90s will continue through the weekend and then look to be more seasonal down the road. The best fishing will be early and late depending on the stretch of water you’re standing in. Please make sure to handle fish carefully and spend…

    Happy Fourth of July! Weather outlook is calling for bright and sunny and a steady warming trend for the upcoming week or two. Be prepared for a stray afternoon thunder-boomer or two. We are entering summer mode around here with the better fishing happening early and late in the day. Stay safe out there! Box…

    Ahhhh, it’s good to be back. Happy Ranch Opener! We are very excited to kick off the opening of DRY FLY FISHING in Harriman State Park. It’s been a bit of a slow start to the season up here, but we are seeing more bugs daily and a few more fish up every day as…

    Hi all. Hope you’ve had a great week and were able to get outside. Good news first: outflow from IP Reservoir has decreased from 1500 to about 800 cfs this week and will hopefully hold steady for a spell. Clarity has improved dramatically as well. It’s been very un-summery the last couple of…

    Hi all! Sorry I missed you last week, was down and out with Covid and not in the loop at all. But I’m back for another couple of weeks before I have to head to school. Booooo. We are in full on summer mode right now, but it looks like we are going to get…

    Greetings from Island Park. Hard to believe it’s already mid-July, and honestly, it’s fishing and feeling like mid-summer. Things have slowed down around here, especially during midday heat. We’ve been getting some afternoon storms which have briefly cooled it down, but afternoon temps are in…

    Hello all. I hope you’ve been able to get out and wet a line wherever you’re reading this from. We’ve had a pretty solid week of fishing until flows came up Friday. Fingers crossed draft will stop at 1500 cfs which is still fishable. The water is a bit off-color and will probably remain so…

    Happy Fourth of July! As expected, draft from IP Reservoir began this week. We should see flows peak at normal summer outflow of 1500 cfs in the coming days. Water clarity has been quite good the last week, but turbidity should increase with the push in flows, at least for a few days. The river…
