CURRENT CONDITIONS · LIVE FLOWS + SHOP REPORTS
The flow numbers come straight from the USGS river gauges, around the clock. The notes and rigs are our seasonal playbook from thirty-two years on this water, and when the guides post a fresh report from the shop, it takes over. Want today's read from someone who was just out there? Call the shop.

Seasonal outlook
Clear water and educated fish. Go a size smaller and a shade lighter than you think, and fish the seams early and late. Evening caddis can still bring the whole run to the top.
RECOMMENDED RIG
Tan Caddis #16 · Pheasant Tail #18 dropper · 5x tippet
-- cfs
Seasonal outlook
This is what the drift boats live for: Pumphouse to State Bridge, dry-dropper along every bank, caddis in the evening, and canyon scenery that makes the fishing almost secondary. Almost.
RECOMMENDED RIG
Chubby #10 · Tungsten Pheasant Tail #16 on 3 feet · 3x/4x
-- cfs
Seasonal outlook
Terrestrials along the grass and tricos on the flats early. On hot stretches, fish the cool hours and carry a thermometer: when the afternoon water warms, give the fish a break and go find a patio.
RECOMMENDED RIG
Hopper #10 · Copper John #16 dropper · 3x/4x · fish it early
-- cfs
Seasonal outlook
Late summer means hoppers slapped tight to the grass banks and browns that come up swinging. Add an ant or beetle behind it on the slow days. Evening caddis close the show.
RECOMMENDED RIG
Morrish Hopper #8-10 · Black Ant #16 trailer · 3x/4x
-- cfs
Seasonal outlook
Cold, clear releases keep the Williams Fork fishing well all summer. PMDs and caddis, technical drifts, and wild fish that reward a careful approach. The thinking angler's summer river.
RECOMMENDED RIG
PMD #16-18 · Split Case PMD #18 dropper · 5.5x
