After a few storms and various blowouts around/below Government Bridge over the past few weeks, Grey Reef is back on track and it’s fair to say we are good to go from Grey Reef to Casper. Water temps are good and conditions are about as nice as we could ask for. Fishing wise, take your pick. Nymphs, streamers and dries are all in play, it just depends on the day. Tricos are consistently popping in the morning, a few PMDs and sallies in the afternoon, with caddis rounding out the evenings. Fish are starting to look up! For those wondering the hopper thing really isn’t a thing at this point but who knows? The Miracle Mile has dropped to 550cfs. We will see how that shakes out on the water temperature front over the next few weeks. Regardless, it’s that time of year, minimize fish time out of the water and handle them carefully. That about sums things up, looking forward to the backend of summer!

If you are planning on heading this way make sure to buy your license before you arrive.
