The fishing on the Big Wood can be very good this time of year. On days where the temperature is above freezing expect to see midges on top in select runs and good nymph fishing underneath. This time of the year it is very important to have dries, emegers, light sinking nymphs and heavier flies. The fish will feed in…

The Big Wood River has been fishing very well on the right days. I like overcast and warmer days for good fishing. There are some fish on top feeding on midges but the nymph fishing can be very effective. Dry flies in sizes 20-24 work well and also have some light emergers that sink very gently. One of my favorites…

The Big Lost below the dam has been the most consistent of all our fisheries. There are still BWO's in sizes 18-24 and on the right day which is usually clouds you can see some very good dry fly fishing. I like Hackle Stackers and Gulpher Specials on top and a Harrop CDC emerger for those fish feeding on the…

I also like midge patterns for this time of year and always carry the Trailing Shuck Midge in a size 20-22. I like brassies under a dry fly and find the…

I still like the small size 20-22 Hackle Stackers and Gulpher Specials but you also need some bigger patterns that represent the bigger fall Baetis/ BWOs. Silver…

Callibaetis have been coming of in the float tube sections but the hatch has been very inconsistent. Some afternoons there are excellent hatches and on other days the…

The Big Wood is starting to fish better. The water level continues to get lower and access has become easier. The bigger fish are starting to come up for small dries including Baetis, Pink Alberts and a surprisingly good caddis hatch for this late in the summer. Hoppers are around in certain areas and you can get some very big…

"Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day." – A.A. Milne The snow is busy coming down from the mountain tops making the rivers flow fast and furious. Anglers know this: there is no hurry to get to the river. Let the run off play out. And when the water does recede, the playbook for…

"No winter lasts forever, no spring skips its turn." – Hal Borland The voice of life, being, and becoming is about to roar. Warm weather is in the forecast which should accelerate the melt, especially of the low altitude snow. In the Wood River drainage the current snow water equivalent is a tad over 200%. As stated in the previous…
