Henry’s Fork – 2nd week of Sept.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey guys –

I am planning on hitting the Henry’s Fork in the 2nd week of Sept.

[troy lark]

I live in Rigby and fish the Henry’s some in September but spend more time throwing streamers/hoppers on the South Fork or hunting Chukars and Grouse in the foothills.

[Zach Matthews]

That’s nice of you Troy.

Zach,

[Zach Matthews]

It has been quite a few years since I was on the HF in mid-Sept., but I do remember a lot of small (#18 to #24) BWOs at that time. We used small soft hackle and dun patterns. Lots of weeds in the river too.

Call or email Trout Hunter for more specifics and I would recommend trying their tippet material too while out there. If you use CDC, Trout Hunter has the best around in my opinion.

In the West Yellowstone area if you want a rustic cabin at a reasonable price in the scenic Gallation National Forest between the lakes (Hebgen & Quake) see http://www.campfirelodgewestyellowstone.com/. Awesome breakfast too that will keep you full all day.

Which part of the Hank? I used to live in Rigby as well and second the tip of tossing streamers on the SF.

What will be your route in the Park? Maybe I could meet up for a day and stab stuff in the face.

Oh, and look into the Bechler region if you are over near Ashton.

Hey guys –

I have Yellowstone pretty well figured now, but I have never fished in Idaho at all.

[Mark Landerman]

The balloons will work well for the Box. Are you staying up at Last Chance, or fishing down near Chester?

Hank Lake (and outlet) should be fishing well, Warm River section is always good, but I’m not sure what the work on Ashton Dam has done to the Ora/ Vernon area. BWO’s, mahogany duns, and hoppers!

Last Chance to West is maybe 40 minutes, Enis is just a little longer.

Mark –

I am kind of along for the ride on this one.

You’ve got all 2,219,789 acres figured out eh?

[Zach Matthews]

Tim –

I know my way around the park and have fished most of the major watersheds, yes.

[Zach Matthews]

How far is the Henry’s Fork from West?

About 1 hour. Depends if you drive normal or like they do in Montana.

You’ve got all 2,219,789 acres figured out eh?  (or 3,472 square miles for those that are counting)

Tim what is that in Hectares? 😉

[fred handy]

I’ll be out there (ID and MT) 3rd and 4th week of Sept. Love that time of year. Different area, tho. I’m addicted to the Clearwater drainage.

I wish I had YNP figured out.

[Karlin Bilcher]

I lived in the middle of the park (canyon area) for three months working for the parks service one summer and didn’t get it all figured out.  You are the man Zach.  

[AshLee Moncur]

September & October is my favorite time to fish East Idaho. Good to hear you are coming out.

[Zach Matthews]

AshLee –

Not a bad idea.

We’re apparently going to be hanging out with Rene Harrop

Zach

WAY cool.

[Karlin Bilcher]

Zach:  “So Rene, you like fish a lot beetles in the summer, even when there’s bugs coming off?”

Rene:  “Yea”

Zach:  “Wow, that’s crazy!”  

Looking forward to the Podcast.
