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.
