Streamer fishing is still the way to go, as fish have stacked up below beds to feed. Just make sure to fish deep holes to not disturb spawning browns. Darker and more natural colors are likely to be productive. The water is low, so fish get a better look at flies, especially streamers, so attractors aren’t as necessary.

The story of spawning browns is the same on both the New Fork and Green rivers, but more fish have stacked in slow, deep holes on the New Fork. Nymphing tactics as well as some smaller streamers have proven productive, and fish are on the move.

The section just below the dam is closed off for a few months, so be sure not to cross the barrier. Big rainbows are really active right now if you’re willing to fish between clumps of moss. Classic tailwater flies always work this time of year, but realistically anything with a hot bead will stand out.
