Fishing Report

The ice is finally gone and things are starting to fish around the Pinedale area.

The Green River:
Well, the run-off is here, so the Green is MUD and will be for a few weeks.

New Fork River:
The New Fork is extremely low, but is fishing great. The rainbows are starting to fan out their redds and there are nice browns eating eggs below them! It doesn’t look like the river is going to come up in the near future. The Ranchers are trying to get the lake filled, so it may be early June before you can float.

Flies for the New Fork:
Glow Bugs
Zuddlers any color # 4
Wooly Buggers any color # 4 to 6
Yuk Bugs any color # 4 to 6

Soda Lake:
The lake is fishing fair. Reports from opening day were good to fair. The lake is also five feet low, so the oxygen levels are not far from the surface. The trout in the lake will be closer to the surface than normal years until the lake fills.

Flies for Soda:
Chironomids Black or Red # 16
Scuds all colors # 12 to 16
BH Prince # 14 to 18
Platte River Special # 4 to 6
Orange Blossum Special # 4 to 6

Meadow Lake:
Meadow is a great grayling lake. They are the only species in the lake, and they are plentiful. The Game and Fish spawn the grayling annually for eggs so the inlet area of the lake is closed to fishing.

Flies for Meadow:
B.H. Zug Bug #14 to 16
B.H. Prince #14 to 16
Montana Prince #14 to 16

Give us a call for any other info at 1-800-329-4353

This report will be updated as often as the bugs change, so we change it weekly throughout the summer months.

Save some fish for the next angler!
