Henry's Fork Salmonfly's!

Salmonfly Fishing on The Henry's Fork With Slimy Trout!

I spent yesterday floating the lower Henry's Fork with John and Karl. We started with a short float from Ora to Vernon around mid-day. Conditions were good - sunny skies, warm temps, and a little breeze. Unfortunately, there might have been more salmonflies with hooks sticking out of them on the water than natural bugs. Despite the crowds, we managed to find a handful of nice chunky fish. John's brown that went 21" turned out to be the fish of the day.
In the afternoon we opted for a lower float from Chester to Fun Farm. Flows from the Fall R. seem to have come up and cooled the water considerably. We saw very few naturals, and struggled to catch the three fish we caught. Aside from two or three missed opportunities on a dry stone, our few landed fish were on a dropped rubberleg.
As we headed back up the Ashton Hill, we got a report from Jake who floated down to Chester late in the afternoon and "got 'em". Oh well, you win some. You loose some

Guides Report Card from the members!

Guide Reports are In...Take A Look!

So we got a number of emails in from members about guides they've used over the years and who was good, the bad and the ugly while out on the water. If Saltwater is your fancy than we have it all! Here is the Thread we started about members to send in their guide reports. No full names or screen names given to protect them from the unpopular call outs from guides possibly.

Saltwater Reports

Keys Area- Jake M Minneapolis sent in

He stated that a few years ago he was there with his son and Peter Robbins guided them out one day, A not so pleasant experience. He didn't list the guide company name just the guide. ** out of 5

San Diego- Larry D. from Dallas used this outfit last year and though the guide tried his best, he was super under qualified and really didn't put them on fish at all.

Seaforth Sportfishing * out of 5 stars

Freshwater Reports

Alaska- Way too many outfits there so not only did I have a bad experience with a guide who put the others on the boat onto fish but left me out to dry and forgot our lunch, he got no tip and a definite bad review from me. Midnight Sun service got a ** out of 5 from me

Alaska- Another report came in from Kelly G from Atlanta sent us about a report that was so-so. Besides the crappy weather the guide showed up late, unprepared, took forever to get going and didn't say much. Not good and went back to another Outfitter the following year. What an ass and stay far away is the report
Larry's Fishing Charters (nice name) * out of 5


Idaho- A report came in that was good and bad? Patrick P from Denver sent one in where the Guide put him on a few fish but the biggest of the day he dropped the ball. He didn't net the fish right and Patrick lost the biggest fish of his life...ouch!
All Flies service 6 years ago (not sure if still around) *** out of 5




We'll talk about Local area guides the next few weeks from Montana, Colorado and New Mexico that people sent in

Bass On A Fly!

Early Summer Bass on a Fly Tactics!
Bass in Colorado is on Again

Tis the season and time to get back out on some favorite water for some Largemouth, Smallmouth or Wipers! One thing I've noiticed over the years coming from Georgia to Denver is that Trout rain supreme in this state! Well I lean towards that infatuation as well but when you consider there are so many freshwater species, mainly that of bass to chase, and a majority of those are within reach from Denver's city limits....all the reason to escape that I-70 traffic jam, high prices of gas and fish for big freshwater species locally.
