Henrys Fork Fishing Report – (10.15.26)
Lower River: As fall continues, the cooler days and nights have really helped the lower Henry’s Fork. Cloudy and overcast days are going to be you best friend with BWOs and leftover Mahoganies. Don’t put the Terrestrials away just yet, they will continue to stay important through the warm and sunny days of fall season. Indicator rigs as well as streamers can be productive this time of year on the lower river. Dry dropper rigs are still producing some good action in the Warm River to Ashton stretch of the river. Clarity is improving as water flows are decreased.
Upper river: Flows are around 80 cfs, expect those flows for the next 4 months. These flows are going to make floating really challenging in the Box Canyon. Plan on walking the boat a bunch and lots of weed growth. Clarity has been a challenge but has drastically improved due to the flow drop and decrease. Nymphing continues to be the name of the game in clean runs. Smaller rubberlegs paired with technical tailwater fare will be productive in the Box Canyon with the current flows. Change depths and different weight to dial in the game. BWOs and Midges are going to dominate hatches for the rest of the fall season. Expect better conditions on the Ranch with the decreased flows and upcoming shift in weather. Look for Mahoganies and BWOs to be the name of the game. Throw some terrestrials in your fly box too for warm sunny days. Be ready for true headhunting style fishing – stealthy approach, long leaders, light tippets and thin sparse CDC patterns imitating the bug hatches above.
