Contrary to popular belief, it is still winter in Southwest Wyoming. Fish are still holding in deeper, slower, winter holding water. Lots of whitefish are sitting in the riffles. If that’s what you are into, get after it.

Snowmelt has been leading to blowing out of rivers in the afternoons. Stay high to avoid runoff. Most of Wyoming’s drainages are sitting at about average. Although it was ridiculously cold this Winter, it did not snow as much as it has in years past.

There has been a lot of midge activity on the days that the wind doesn’t blow the bugs off the water and some baetis are showing up. If you are nymphing, scuds are king. The dry fly fishing is pretty subpar. With that being said, the streamer fishing has been fantastic. Fish the slower, deeper runs with darker streamers and you should have some success.
