For those in the teton area:
The snake in JH is a mess. The rain and the switch to Africa hot weather has the last push of water coming down in a hurry. Some of the JH Valley tribs are fishing. Others are still a ways away from fishing. I haven't hear but my guess is this warmer than usual weather has slowed the valley lake fishing with fly sticks. The exceptions being certain areas of jackson lake and YNP lakes. high country lakes are prolly just starting to fish!
The Green spiked up too. More snow yet to come down over there. It was really good for a while. My guess, looking at the forecast is about 10-15 days til that one is in its prime from the lakes down!
I fished the South For sat. Haven't messed with that river in the summer, especially when the big bugs are out in a long time. I'm not a fan of bumper boats. My buddy really wanted to give it a shot. We did and put on at the dam at 5:50am. He couldn't keep fish off the olive streamer pattern he had on for the first mile. We switched to slapping and twitching salmon fly imitations after that and did extremely well for another hour or so. The meat of that hatch seems about done but the goldens are all over below Husky's. Some caddis and pmd's around too but at 13,200, we didn't see any reason to go there. We bobber fished from about 9:00 until we took out at the Bridge. Plenty of quality fish on a variety of stoney looking nymphs. We past one boat putting on at the Slide. Never saw another angler besides the 15 or so fucking jet sleds ripping up and down the river. That was enough for me for the summer over there. Ge get it on a weekday, early or late.
