The colder temperatures that we have been seeing has made Southwestern Wyoming a much more fishable option again. However, the storms have brought a lot of wind and some snow with them. There is quite a bit of moss in the river, but not nearly as bad as it was this time last year. Flows below Fontenelle Reservoir are sitting around 1160 CFS.

As with the Green below Flaming Gorge, the terrestrial fishing is still decent with hoppers, ants, beetles, and crickets. You will see midge activity early in the morning and some Baetis and caddis activity later in the day. Streamer fishing has been heating up. White and gold, ginger, olive and copper, and black and peacock have been my go to colors up north.

The Kokanee run is in full swing and contrary to popular belief, the brown trout spawn earlier in Wyoming than they do down in Utah. Be mindful of spawning fish.
