I made a trip down to the boat ramp at Hatchery Ford while riding in Island Park. I couldn’t resist backing down the ramp. It won’t be long before we are down there looking for lunkers. I also made a trip along Railroad Ranch. There were some big boys feeding on the surface.
These photos were sent to us from our friends over at Friends of the Teton River. They were taken by Frank and Craig Head. If you have been in the narrows, you will notice a big difference in the way it now looks. The canyon wall scaring is obviously not there prior to the dam breaking. Also, there a surprising number of trees along the river. A very cool look into the past.
Want to get out on the Teton river and catch some great fish on dry flies? Give us a call for your unique experience on the narrows of the Teton.

The big boys are out on the South Fork of the Snake. Both these monsters ate dry flies. The river is alive with not only big trout, but lots of fish too.
Somebody give this poor guy a net. A really long net.
We started out the new year in a BIG way. That is to say Adam did. Randy, Brian and Adam headed down the Lower Lower South Fork on the 2nd for the first trip of the new year. Fishing all streamers, the boys landed around 60 fish with several nice 18 – 19 inch browns landed. But it was Adam that got the fish of the day, and the year for that matter. Around 2:00 in the afternoon he placed a nice cast across a big gravel flat and hooked into the beauty. After a good fight we stuck it on the Boga Grip and weighed him in at 7 LBS! With a quick measurement on the tape we saw that he was 25″ in length! What a great fish! If this is any indication of what we are all in store for in the 2010 season hold on to your hats. Happy New Year to all of you and good fishing in the 2010 season. Check back tomorrow for the video of the first trip of the year.
