Warm Days and Lots of Snow

Well after a few very warm days in the Wind River valley you can be sure that the run off is soon to follow.  Our guided trips will be focused mainly on the high mountain lakes that surround Dubois while we let the river do its thing. 
One of the biggest tips I can give people for fishing high off colored water during the spring is don't be afraid of the muddy water!  Fish are used to dealing with high water flows and off colored water so don't be shy about wetting a line.  During this time fish are going to move from their established runs and homes from the center of the river and will be concentrated closer to the banks.  It is here that they can withstand the fast current and also have the best visibility for finding food.  In dark muddy water be sure to use flies that will show up the best.  Hug a black, or dark brown bugger close to the banks and hold on!  You might be surprised at how well fast off colored water can fish!
