REPORT POSTED: Saturday february 13th.  THE DRY FLY ACTION IS HERE!!!! The baetis are hatching and the midges never stop!!!!

TAILWATERS: THE LOWER SHOSHONE:  FISHING VERY WELL, DONT FORGET YOUR DRY FLIES!!!! call shop for details. the dry fly action is here!!!!  The blue winged olives  (sizes 18 through 24)are out in full force and the fish are up and sipping!!!!Midges are very important In sizes 20 through 26, dries and nymphs.  All general beadheads are working well.. Scuds and sowbugs ,they can hook the biggest fish of your day. Streamers are very important this time of year for those big aggressive fish that refuse insects because they are meat eaters.,        THE BIGHORN RIVER, THERMOPOLIS: THE WATER IS PERFECT AND THE RAINBOWS ARE ON THE RUN!!!!  CAN YOU SAY BIG FISH ON DRY FLIES? The blue winged olives( 18 THROUGH 26) are out in full force and these hogs have been gorging themselves for the last couple of weeks. Midge dries are also on the menu in sizes 18 through 26. Don't forget a full selection of scuds and sowbugs along with small mayfly nymphs and midge nymphs, we all know they don't eat dry flies all day everyday so be prepared to go deep. Same as the lower Shoshone but these fish are bigger, stronger and smarter. You will need lighter tippets here, longer casts that need to be deadly accurate, in other words if you are a beginner I don't suggest this river, the lower Shoshone is a better river for beginners and can still challenge anglers of any level.                   WILD RIVERS: THE NORTHFORK OF THE SHOSHONE: STILL HAS ICE BUT STARTING TO BREAK UP!!!  CLARKSFORK OF THE YELLOWSTONE   THE UPPER CLARKSFORSFORK :STILL HAS ICE BUT BREAKING UP SOON!!!  THE LOWER CLARKSFORK: ICE IS OFF AND ITS FISHING WELL!!!  Midges and baetis  are on the menu, (18 through 26) Streamers , big stonefly nymphs and general beadheads. LAKES: AREA LAKES ARE ALL STILL ICED UP. the next month will bring the thaw, this is some of the best fishing of the year. This may be the best time of year to land a 20+ inch trout.  East Newton:STILL HAS ICE. Sunshine reservoir : STILL HAS ICE.
