...One more significant rise along the Wind, Snake, Green, 
and North Fork Shoshone Rivers middle to late next week... 
Snow water equivalents (SWEs) at the 9,000 to 10,000 foot elevation 
are dropping at rate 1.0 to 1.2 inches day--for the past 2 days. 
9,000 foot elevation afternoon temperatures are forecasted to be in 
the lower to middle 60s Thursday through Monday of next week. Morning 
low temperatures at 9,000 feet look to be near or above the frost 
temperature of 37F Friday. through Monday. Snowmelt runoff will again 
significantly increase Saturday through Tuesday. 
Daily mountain afternoon showers are expected Thursday through Wednesday 
of next week.  Showers are expected to be more numerous with 
possible heavy rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rainfall runoff coupled 
with snowmelt runoff will cause another significant rise along 
mountain creeks and streams Tuesday through Thursday of next 
week. Larger rivers like  Wind, Snake, Green, and the 
North Fork of the Shoshone will also see significant rises 
by the end of next week. 
Snow levels remain above 9,500 feet through Wednesday of next week-- 
dropping down to around 8,500 to 9,000 feet by Thursday and Friday 
of next week. 
Remember, with mountain streams during an active and increasing 
snowmelt runoff cycle, the highest flows will be in the late 
afternoon to evening hours. Do not attempt to make any creek crossings 
during that time as the power of the rushing water will overwhelm you.

The Upper Green River Basin Water Storage is sitting at 51% currently in the Fontenelle Reservoir. For those of you who don’t know, Fontenelle is the first dam on the Green River. The Green River above Fontenelle is a freestone for approximately 175 river miles. The New Fork River has a small dam that regulates the flow out of the New Fork Lakes as does the Boulder Lake dam which regulates Boulder Creek and the Fremont Lake regulates Pine Creek, which are all tributaries of the Green River. We’re currently booking for the 2019 season so please give us a shout to get your trip booked or just to catch up on the latest and greatest. 307-413-0669 or [email protected].

Flows near Big Piney: 2200 CFS

Today’s New Fork River Fishing Report is now a report instead of an update. This season, thus far, has been yet another CRAZY runoff scenario. Especially given last week’s deluge of water in every form possible which created a small tidal wave. As of today she’s calmed down once again and the clarity is just about where we like it! We’re starting to see some stones and mayflies and it should be VERY SOON when them trout start looking up for the surface bite.

Flows near Big Piney: 2530 CFS

The New Fork Fishing Report is the bite has been consistently good over the past several weeks on the nymph rig and we’re seeing a few dry flies out and a few fish keying in on them. The fish are mostly keyed in on the worm bite but that seems to slowing down a bit, depending on what section you’re fishing. There has been an increase in the boat hatch, so give us a call so we can get you out and away from the herd! We’re getting prepared for the Golden Stones and Grey Drakes, which are legendary hatches.

Flows near Big Piney; 3930 CFS

The New Fork River Fishing Report has the conditions being much more favorable with the bite getting better and better every day. At the moment the flows are receding from the peak and the fish are starting to get more active every day. The bite is the classic turd and worm combo under a strike indicator, set about 8-9ft above the point fly and a BB shot in the faster water. The fish are sill in the deep slots and on the inside seams on the bends.

The New Fork Fishing Report is still more of an update with the flows being over double the average right now. The bottom chart shows the predicted flows and just how high they’ve been since early May. There’s some clearance issues with some of the bridges so be careful.  You gotta work really hard to farm up some action on the ‘ol turd and a worm setup. The fish are sitting in the soft seams and in the the back eddys trying to hold steady while getting some nourishment. Hopefully, the flows will recede soon and we’ll look forward to the golden and drake festivities to kick off.

Fantastic New Fork Brown

The New Fork River Fishing Report is fishing is getting better every day. The flows are still very fast along the banks, so look for the fish to be anywhere the flows are diverted/blocked or reduced. The Grey Drakes are out in full force and the pmds are trying to get going as well and we’re seeing a few sallies as well. The nymph bite is hot as is the streamer one too. The best advice we have for the New Fork River Fishing Report during the heat wave we’re dealing with now is to get out early!

Flows near La Barge: 860 CFS

So far, the New Fork Fishing Report this season has been really good with the hatches, flows and feeding fish. The challenge part has been the ever changing weather patterns, which make the predictability that much more complex and challenging. Some days we’ve seen the bite start around dawn and other days not until mid to late morning. Regardless the Golden Stones, Drakes, Yellow Sallies, Pmd’s and caddis have been plentiful and the fish key in on the specific insect and their various stages of life cycle. The bigger fish seem to be keen on the spinners, in particular. When the bite slows down a dropper of streamer keeps the action going.

Water temps ranging from 57/58 in the am to mid 60’s in the afternoon.

                    Beautiful Brown

The New Fork Fishing Report from today was early am stripping streamers, mid to late morning droppers and good dry fly action until mid afternoon. We’re seeing a fair amount of pmds, yellow sallies, green and grey drakes and goldens as well.  A #4-6 simple streamer gets the job done on a floating line. Dropping either a pheasant tail or hares ear works well about 2 feet below the golden and the mayfly bite is best on the duns. The fish are tight to the banks as the sun intensifies throughout the day. Keep in mind as the consecutive days of bright, hot sun persists, getting out early is a great idea.

Flows at Big Piney: 797 cfs

The early bird gets the fish on the New Fork River……we’re in a heat spell currently and the surface action has been great from around 8am to 1-2pm then slows way down until early evening. We’re seeing lots of grey drakes, meaty yellow sallies and some nice pmd’s too. Dropping a bead head in the afternoon can still produce a few fish too.

The 2015 summer season has officially kicked off and here’s our New Fork River Report from Pinedale Wyoming. This past week the flows have been returning to normal and are shaping up quite nicely. The Golden stones are the most predominant hatch right now but there’s plenty of yellow sallies, a few drakes and caddis in the evenings. On Saturday we we floated we saw plenty of action along with a plethora of wildlife too.

Bull Moose

There were moose all over the place, mule deer, bald eagles, golden eagles and sandhill cranes. Just to name a few.

Mamma Moose with Twins

The bite has been best in the afternoon but we expect that to change with the warming trend forecasted over the next 10 days. The browns and bows are healthy and are mostly in the deep pockets along the banks where the flows are reduced out of the main seams.

Flows: 3640 near Big Piney.

The New Fork River fishing report is this spring has been very productive and as of today we’re anticipating the flows to increase and the color to get darker through mid week. Check back in a few days to see what the latest conditions are. The snowpack in the Wind River Range is still 155% of a 30 year average, which is really incredible for this time of year.

Wyoming Snow and Water Forecasts and Winter Predictions

11.17.14

Trying to predict the current winter snowfall and next season’s water supply is a very tricky and unpredictable process. Conditions are ever changing, especially in the mountains.  We rely on a plethora of scientific data that’s available to us via the internet such as these websites:

http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2014/20141016_winteroutlook.html

http://www.wrds.uwyo.edu/wrds/nrcs/snowmap/snowmap.html

http://www.cbrfc.noaa.gov/

http://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/rfc/

http://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/burtea.html

http://waterwatch.usgs.gov/?m=real&r=wy&w=map

These sites have an amazing amount of useful data but it often comes down to late spring time before we really have abetter idea of which drainages will be fishing at which time and their prospective flows. Noting that this past August was cold and rainy, which was really odd for the high desert we call home. It is worth noting that after this past year’s moisture collectively Wyoming is doing very well on holdover water for next season.  We encourage you to look at them and try to get their basic relevance.

This map from NOAA shows a 50/50% chance of snow for our region. Not bad, I guess………kinda like all things in life to me.

6.27.13

Flows: 627 at Big Piney

The New Fork River has been a very consistent producer of lots of really nice fish eating dry flies. The fish are keyed in on these prolific hatches of Golden Stones and Grey Drakes every day. Before and after the bite stripping a streamer keeps you in the game as does dropping a soft hackle hares ear below the dry fly. Get out early as the temps rise this wend!

Currently the New Fork is clear and fishing well. We’ve seen a few Golden Stones (Genera Hesperoperla and Calineuria) out and the fish are starting to look for them. The most productive method has been a dry dropper rig consisting of a large golden pattern with a mega prince nymph dropped below about 16 inches. The fish have been in the typical spots; tight to the banks and in the seams of the deeper riffles. If the fish aren’t looking for the stones, try a black sex dungeon on a sinking tip line. Always remember: Foam is Home!
