Category: Fishing Reports

I can wrap up this week’s report in four words: Get out and fish! I’d call in sick, pack a lunch, grab your significant other, load up, and go find some water. Things are early this year, and the fishing has been outstanding. I recently had the pleasure of fishing with Howard Croston, the rod designer at the…

I am posting this weeks report a bit ahead of schedule, as I will be presenting my Tony Nominated Fishing Presentation, Fishing The Yellowstone Country at the High Country Fly Fishers April Meeting in Park City tonight, 6-8:30 PM at St Mary’s Catholic Church . I don’t have a lot of new information since my…

Things are heating up on the Henrys Fork fast this year. Island Park Reservoir is at 84% capacity. Flows at the dam are 195 CFS. The lower river is 1040. The Box Canyon is barely floatable; I would suggest a raft at those low flows. Unless you want to leave a good bit of gel…

Henry’s Fork Fishing Report Island Park and the surrounding areas are well known for throwing Spring surprises at us, getting us excited for warmer temps and the activities that follow them, only to be followed within a day or two of a return to winter.  As we mentioned last week, this winter was more mild…

Henry’s Fork Fishing Report, March 13, 2026 2026 is upon us, and it’s fishing season whether you like it or not! This winter was, for the most part, non-existent. I was born and raised in Idaho and have never seen a winter as mild as this. I am not saying it’s never happened, but not…

Hello all. Happy August! You know what that means… it’s about time for me to head back to the classroom, so this will be my last report for the season. Captain Lanning will take over, I’m sure. It’s been a very bittersweet summer for me; fun as always, but I’m quite concerned about the quality…

A little better this week! Good news… flows from IP Reservoir have come down. Bad news… the reservoir is sitting at 50% — it could be a long winter of low flows. In comparison, on this date last year IP Reservoir was at 89,573 acre feet; today’s reading is 69,486 acre feet. Releases are rolling around 1000 cfs and word on the street is…

Shop’s still bustling this afternoon, so I’m going to get right to it. 4th of July has come and gone, but it’s still pretty busy around these parts. Drive safely out there! Thanks to Mikey Ya-Ya for bringing the fireworks. Despite a brief rain delay, things went off with a bang. We had a slight…

Whelp. Ummmmmm. Hmmmmmmmm. Don’t even know where to start this week. I’m not a doom-and-gloom kinda guy, mostly, but things have not been all that great around here this week. I’ve spent a fair amount of time walking the Ranch, sitting out here behind the shop, and driving Wood Road to Millionaires to The Box…
