Montana Fish Report

Flows out of the Ashton reservoir currently stand at 2,380 cfs. As mentioned above the fishing on the lower Henry’s Fork has gotten much slower compared to what it was in June. For anyone who is familiar with the Henry’s Fork this shouldn’t be a surprise, warm temperatures and little bug life are a perfect recipe for slow summer fishing. With that being said, your best option for finding fish will be to go in the morning and evening hours of the day fishing PMD’s, smaller spinners, and caddis flies. For more recommendations on specific patterns stop by our shop and speak with our staff or give us a phone call. In terms of outlook on this stretch the hoppers should start showing out in greater numbers in the coming weeks but, I would still expect slow fishing during the afternoon. Similarly, to the fishing on the ranch, giving these fish breaks during the hottest hours of the day is the best thing to do to secure a healthy fishery and protect our favorite cold-water species.
