Our prayers go out to the guide and his family.  May he return safely.

SWAN VALLEY – The Bonneville County Search and Rescue team has called off the search Wednesday night for a man missing from a capsized boat.

Just before 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, at the Spring Creek Boat landing near Swan Valley, three people were floating in a drift boat when it reportedly hit some willow branches and flipped over, spilling the three into the Snake River. One couple made it out, the third, a man in his mid-40′s has not been found.

According to the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, the missing man is a fishing guide and is used to being on the water.

No information has been released on the identities of the people involved.

The search will resume Thursday morning at 7 a.m.

Henrys Fork Rainbow Trout – 24 inch

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Henrys Fork Rainbow TroutWith all the cold wet weather, fishing on the Henry’s Fork has been a bit tougher.  However, there are some great trout being caught like this 24 inch rainbow trout by Ron Cockle. Ron and David Engelman, a guest of over 3 decades, had a great day on the Henry’s Fork.

The weather looks to be improving a bit.  This should settle the river down and get some more big bugs out. Green Drakes should be making an appearance as well.

We are getting tired of the rain, but we sure needed it.

South Fork Snake River Fishing Report June 3 2010

Jason Terry. Second day fishing. Personal double.

Despite the wet and windy weather, fishing has been great on the South Fork.  Water conditions are good.  Water color is not bad at all.  We are catching fish on both nymphs and streamers.

Jason had a great day on the river.  It was only his second day and had been fishing dry on the Henry’s Fork the previous day.  He transitioned nicely to the nymph rig and caught the heck out of em.
