Henry's Fork Advice

[Natekursow]

So I just realized that on a road trip I'm doing, I'll be driving right by the Henry's Fork, and I'll be able to fish it for a few hours around the 17th. I was thinking of fishing it at Harriman State Park. Does anyone have any tips on it? Thanks!

Supposed to be pushing 90 next week, usually makes the ranch even tougher than normal.

Henry's Fork Anglers is a great place to stop, find out what is hatching and when.

Buy some flies........

When you hit the fly shop, ask about the river access above Box Canyon and where their guides are taking clients. Most fish down toward Ashton instead of the water near Island Park. The drake hatch is incredible on the river near Harriman's. We noticed seagulls hitting the water like swallows picking off helpless insects in the drift. Then we saw how big the pre-emergent drakes were. Depending on your time frame to fish, Henry's Lake would be great if the wind is down. The county park has a launch. Fish Staley Springs stripping leech patterns buggers or wooly worm over weed beds with a sink tip.

Henry's lake has been dead, fish moved to deep water in a hurry with how warm its been this spring. Box Canyon will be your best bet for cold water.

I gots to agree with Aaron’s evaluation of Henry’s Lake. The fishery there took a nose-dive years ago IMO due to the opening up of the lake to ice fishing. Box Canyon will be your best bet probably but it can be a tough wade. If you just have to fish the ranch keep in mind it’s not what it used to be and you will have company! All this week is predicted to be bright, sunny and HOT!
