Lower Shoshone Tailwater

CFS: 217
FLIES: Firebead sow bug, North fork Specials, Purple Prince, Jigged Prince, Walt’s Worm, Lucent prince, Prince, San Juan worm, Bloody Mary, Pheasant Tail, Midge pupa, Jigged Meathead, Drag Queen, Sculpzilla, Mini Dungeon, Slump Buster, Thin Mint, BWO’s, and midges
CONDITIONS: The flows on the Low Sho are as low as we’ve seen in a long time. Nymphing has been the most consistant tactic but look for BWO’s to start hatching between 11-3. The streamer fishing has been great on the overcast days.FYI, we are seeing quite a bit of exposed metal debris in the river due to the low flows. Be very careful while floating.
