Big Lost River - view archive
8/8/2008 :: Reported by Lost River Outfitters
The Lower Lost is flowing at 437 cfs with normal flows about 540 cfs. It is wadeable, but still pushy in many of your favorite spots. Many of the large trout have moved to the gravel shelves. The water is still crystal clear and those fish are ... [more]
6/10/2008 :: Reported by Vertical Media
The upper Big Lost is flowing at 785 cfs. Normal flows are 1,250. I would not probably spend time here yet. Water temperatures from snow melt keep this river quite cold. Clarity is good. Holding areas very washy and fast.
The lower Lost ... [more]
Big Wood River - view archive
8/8/2008 :: Reported by Lost River Outfitters
The Big Wood is flowing at 204 cfs with normal flows about 300 cfs. It is fishing best in the morning through early afternoon hours and again in the evening. Tricos, pink alberts, small yellow cranes, a few yellow sallies still egg laying, and ... [more]

Firehole River - view archive
8/6/2008 :: Reported by Jack Dennis Sports
The Firehole is a bit warm for the best fishing right now. You are better to concentrate you efforts elsewhere at this time.

7/30/2008 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
One can still find rising trout on the Firehole in the evenings, but the water is very warm. As there are many other prominent fisheries inside of Yellowstone that offer better conditions right now, it is probably time to give the Firehole a break ... [more]
Little Wood River - Desert - view archive
8/8/2008 :: Reported by Lost River Outfitters
Skip the Little Wood in the desert. The water above the Little Wood Reservoir will work, but will fish better the further up the canyon you hike. Adams, Royal Wullfs, and stimlulators will all work. ... [more]
6/10/2008 :: Reported by Vertical Media
Water levels, clarity and temperatures are as good as they will be all year. The dessert wildflowers are in full bloom. A good time to look at this stream if you have a few hours. Spring reports have still been mostly small rainbows and browns. A ... [more]
Madison River - view archive
6/10/2008 :: Reported by Vertical Media
Yellowstone has had cold snowy weather. Night temperatures have dropped below freezing and it has been snowing. If you are planning a trip, let this next system pass.
The Madison is flowing at 960 cfs with normal flows 850. The Firehole ... [more]
3/31/2006 :: Reported by Gallatin River Lodge
Fishing on the Madison River has been excellent. Warm afternoons have really helped the fishing. The lower section has been fishing well. We've been floating and dead drifting Sculpins and Bowriver Buggers with small beadhead ... [more]
Salmon River - view archive
8/8/2008 :: Reported by Lost River Outfitters
For a nice diversion the upper Salmon is a fun float/fish if you have a rubber raft. I have not heard of any spruce moth activity, but a size 8-10 humpy or Wulff or large Stimulator would be my choice. I am still incensed about the 20 fish per ... [more]
6/10/2008 :: Reported by Vertical Media
The Salmon River at Riggins is flowing at 37,900. Gear guys should be able to catch chinook there now. The salmon are still coming over Bonneville Dam. 1,684 on of 6/9. Year to date totals 140,184. Salmon at Lower Granite are fish coming into Idaho ... [more]
Silver Creek - view archive
8/8/2008 :: Reported by Lost River Outfitters
Silver Creek is flowing at 120 cfs with normal flows about 125. The upper waters are in great shape. Below the RR Ranch the water temps are a bit warm for real active afternoon dry fly fishing, but expect the Creek to rise a bit as the barley comes ... [more]
6/10/2008 :: Reported by Vertical Media
The sunny cold weather of the last few days has slowed the dry fly action on the creek. There have been some sputtering PMD hatches in the daytime, with more dense emergences late evening when the sun and winds drop. Best catching on the preserve ... [more]
South Fork of the Boise - view archive
8/8/2008 :: Reported by Lost River Outfitters
The South Fork below Anderson Dam is flowing at 1,840 cfs with normal flows about 1,460. That is too big to wade very well. You can pick through the rocks on the road side, but access by boat is best. Pink Alberts will be the best bet right now for ... [more]
6/10/2008 :: Reported by Vertical Media
The South Fork is flowing at 611 cfs today. Normal flows are 2,100. It should hold for a while longer as Anderson reservoir was not yet full. It is hard to cross at 600, but easy to wade fish. It is one of the slickest rivers in our area ... [more]
Sun Valley Mountain Lakes - view archive
8/8/2008 :: Reported by Lost River Outfitters
It is time for hoppers, beetles and attractor flies on all of the mountain lakes. Great time to stalk the bank cruisers. On some of the popular waters you may want to take some nymphs, like Baker Lake, as these fish see quiet a few ... [more]
6/10/2008 :: Reported by Vertical Media
The Sun Valley Area High Mountain Lakes are still frozen and under snow. We have experienced the coldest Spring since the early 80's and keep breaking records in low temperatures.
The lower elevation snows are slowly receding, but we ... [more]
