Anyone interested in a group weekend blast? maybe a fri.,sat., sun. thing?
I saw it on jhradio website but google will go to the FS site. I'd bust a move on it for us depending on interest. Fall is gorgeous up there. It's on the Union pass rd BTW.
Fantastic area. Best floats on the green are up there, at least imo.
If you get it sometime this summer I’ll try my best to take a spot.
im hudge into the green things
but probably cant do it till late aug sept
and a frost sure aint gonna hurt the skeeter issues
Hell yeah, Dibbs. My first thought was the skeeter thing. Big and mean in the Winds. Kinda thinking a Fall time frame for sure. What's agood time in September? The later the mellower I'd think
Fellas feel free to school me on when is/isn't a good time, etc. I'm in it for the fun / Bro-down. But Open to all insight as I am at best a Teeny tiny fly fisherman. Not Huge.
I looked into getting some days at the Green river lake lodge but they sold out all the dates from July through November in 12 minutes...That's what the FS gal told me.
So how does a get together near Jh in September sound? Or even early October? We could get on any of the water around here.
What's a good plan, anyone?
Sept is tough for me. Gone late Oct. I could swing a night and a day or two in early Oct.
this weekend is booked for me Djongo but I’d be happy to go out with you anytime after next Wednesday. Shoot a pm and we can take a day on a river.
I have three weeks off in August then move to Boise until Nov 15th for internship. I will be working 48/96's and could theoretically make it back but will likely be tough. If anyone wants to fish in August lets!
We should get out one of these days, Snapt.
Yep, I'll be hollerin at you shortly, Schwerty.
Maybe a shindig in August instead? Cripes, that's only a few weeks away!
Nothing major, just an opportunity for some of us to get together ...
My plans to fish my guts out in your neck of the woods completely changed with Miss Teleees father getting hit with the big C this summer, so instead I have been hanging out in hospitals in Iowa. We are still going to try and make it out in August at some point. Would be great to fish with you guys. Schwerty we usually have some solid days on the water at this point, I need to get up and fish with ya!
I’m here Teleee. Ready whenever you can make it!
Looking forward to another round of beers with you and the Mrs. Teleee. Schwerty lets make it happen in August.
I might have head up that way and drag my raft and my fisherkid and fisherpooch one these weekendsQuote:

This will be my first time fishing up there, and don't know when I'll be back so don't worry about me blowing up your spots! Would love to be able to get him on some dry fly action.
Is it similar to SLC area, PMD>Caddis through the afternoon?
As far as the river in the valley goes, there is no such thing as blowing one's secret spots. Because there are no secret spots. None. In July, the river is heavily trafficked by anglers and play boaters alike. There's multiple lodges touting this river and it's in all the guide books so its not like a little advice here is going to change a damn thing. Around here, the really valuable local knowledge is about timing, not access or secret spots.Quote:

Fox Creek access gets you into the top of the upper slough. It is a mucky, weedy spring creek habitat that provides challenging, technical fishing to educated fish. This where to go to stalk a large riser feeding on pmd life cycle, ants, etc. It's not easy fishing and a great place to take a beginner if you want to turn him off of flyfishing forever. The fish are smart and the muck bottom takes all the fun out of getting into the water, to put it mildly. Plus, you'll probably get hemmed in by anglers above and below you; spook all the fish in front of you and your day is fucked.
Rainey is the public campground area. This part is meandering meadow stream with heavy willows and it has a more solid bottom than the slough. Down there you'll also find bugs that exist in gravel. It's also pretty much ground zero for playboaters and worm chuckers. Rainey has about a mile of wade accessible water though (pm sent) and it does hold plenty of fish, including lots of easier to catch brookies.
You can rent inflatables in Driggs. That would be my advice.
thanks!
There's an access yes property a mile or so below Harrop's Bridge with about a mile of riverfront. More classic riffles and caddis down that way, boaters take out above it, and a little easier to wade, and less people.
Yeah, there a secret hole right under that house on the hill. Go fish that one. That guy loves to share his secrets.
Railroad Ranch one week out. From what I understand in reading all the books is that bumper boats are full tilt this time of year. The current plan is to leave the skiff in the narth. Walk and wade is totally fine with my old man and I. All mags are welcome to join but just a reminder, we fucking suck at fishing. Any suggestions, wisdom, must bring along, do and do not in and around IP or any other insight are greatly appreciated.
You can always go feed the fish and taunt the moose at big springs. Also getting whiskey drunk in front of all the mormons at Ponds is fairly entertaining.
Don't know what books you're reading but there is never bumper boats on the ranch ever. The crowds are gone. We're hitting the dog days of summer. All the major hatches are done. You'll still get some pmds, maybe some flavs beetles and ants. It's the early morning and late afternoon game. All that doesn't matter anyway because if you really suck at fishing you won't catch anything there anyway. You should bring your skiff and just float and nymph box canyon. The Madison is in striking distance from IP so there's that. Fuck Ponds spend your money at the Trouthunter.Quote:

Fish mortality due to the increasingly common use of streamers with large hooks was another concern. Their conclusion is that there aren't good numbers of large fish on the Ranch anymore. The population is now dominated by smaller fish. The large fish remaining tend to concentrate in a handful of relatively deeper spots and they have anglers posted up on them all day long. Which is totally lame. That is a startlingly honest assessment from a lodge for whom the RR is their daily bread and butter.Quote:

Just a thought about bringing that skiff, moose, but you might want to call around the local shops and see what is happening on Hebgen. When its on (and the wind is cooperating), the callibaetis gulper fishing at Hebgen is way better than dicking around on the Ranch chasing picky fish that have seen 1000 lines. Call Galloups place and get the Hebgen report.
Clearly I have come to the right place. I have so much to learn and all options are on the table. Trouthunters will be stop number 1. The ranch is where we are staying so we can travel to Hebgen and the Madison very easily. I am not delusional about my abilities so I am very open to all pieces of advice. I hear what you all are saying about bringing the skiff, the only issue is that from Harriman we head to Hailey/Ketchum for 4 days. I will look around to see if renting a yacht for the day while in the IP area might be a better option then towing the HeadhunterII all over Wydaho. I greatly appreciate all of the knowledge being shared!
Hey! That's not wydaho you dicks. I still think he should go to ponds but I guess if you're near hebgen the happy hour will do.....:fmicon:Quote:

Pretty much what Necky said. I had a feeling late last summer when IP reservoir was drawn down to 3% and the HF was flowing turpid water that bad things were to come. Luckily we got a bunch of fall rain and it filled nicely and winter flows were good. I've haven't missed a Ranchy opener in 22 years. I thought last year sucked until this years opener sucked even worse. I thought something was up when the water above the Ranchy always fishes good in Marchy, April and May with good midgies, Baety and March Browny hatches and this year it didn't. All I kept hearing is the water needs to warm a bit and it will explode. Well it warmed and it didn't explode. I probably have 10 to 15 days on the Ranchy this year and this year is the worst year I've ever had there. The Green Drakey hatch was pitiful, the seagulls really didn't even show up for that. Another thing I noticed is the weedy beddys came into play a lot sooner this year. Even if you hooked a fish on 6 or 7X chances are you wouldn't land it. Although I did see the biggest fish and ever heard of being caught on the Ranchy this year I wouldn't waste any time there. I know guys who usually fish the Ranchy every day from the opener until October that have moved on to better things. The Browny Drakey hatch was decent but that's not surprising cus they like it siltty.
Moosey, Just spent the last 4 days camping on Hebgy. It's just getting going. Calibaetys have been coming off around 930 - 10ishy. They're also eating caddis. Experiment, you'll be surprised at the dries they'll eat. If the wind stays down which it has been lately fish were up till around 1:00 1:30ishy. Than again in the evening. Stay on the water until dark 30. Caught some nice brownys right at dark on big and uglies. We made one evening session on Quakie that was pretty good so that's an option too. The only place I think I know that rents boatys is clear the hell down in Ashton. Maybe someone else knows of some place in IP or West. BTW, are you staying in the yurts at Harrimen? Those are pretty cool.
This post was pretty much un-readabley...Quote:
