: Henry's Fork: We have reports of recreational floating traffic on the river; Box Canyon and the entire lower river between above Chester seem to be favored locations. Consider that these folks do not understand angling etiquette. So be patient. They have just as much right to enjoy the river as do anglers. Best time to fish around them is early and late in the day. All traditional hatches are in full swing along the river: Green drakes, flavs, PMDs, PM caddis abound with a few golden stones. Brown drakes are appearing in evenings on lower the river at Harriman East making Wood Road 16 an up and coming favored location. AM and PM spinner falls are good times to be on the river whether it be Last Chance-Harriman State Park waters or the lower river. These times of day minimize recreational traffic. Also dry-dropper combos seem to work everywhere. Try a dry blond humpy over a bead head nymph of your choice Reported by: Jimmy's All Seaons Angler |

Misc Info: -
The reach from Riverside Campground to Ashton Reservoir is now open all year, so anglers will be able to fish a new reach of river prior to Memorial weekend. Although access is difficult, the area offers excellent fishing and outstanding scenery. The Box Canyon reach of the Henrys Fork and the reach from Ashton Dam to Vernon Bridge opens the Saturday of Memorial weekend and should be very good early in the season. The warm weather is moving the timing of insect hatches a little early this year. The Harriman section of the Henrys Fork of the Snake opens June 15. This fly-fishing only section provides an opportunity to test your fly-fishing skills. The lower river is very popular in the spring and early summer. Please recognize that access on the lower river is dependent on willing landowners, so be courteous and respectful of private property.
