Hogs on the Fly

Phil, temps below the dam reached 67 the other day. Hasn't slowed the bite too bad but takes a few minutes to revive the fish. That fish pictured above was only out of the water for 6 seconds or so and swam away shortly thereafter. Ham, that fish had over a dozen lamprey sores on the other side. It's had a tough life no doubt.

Big browns on the Norfork lately!

Spent many of the past guide trips on the Norfork on minimum flow and rising water. Although some reports I've read suggest that the lake is turning over and the DO is low, I can assure you that is not the case. Midge fishing is stellar in both riffles and pools... patience is required but rewarded! http://www.hogsonthefly.com

Fished the confluence to Redd's yesterday. This can be good streamer water given the right circumstances i.e. high water and overcast skies. We only had on of the two, high water, to work with. Lots of limestone ledges and drop offs. In most cases, we're more productive streamer fishing than nymphing. It's not uncommon to pick up a few smallies along the way.

You should contact Dominic at Two Rivers Fly Shop. He has a connection that is between the Norfork confluence and Red's landing which may fit your bill. His #870.499.3060. Best, LB

Brian... think red...

Last year we fished hoppers, ants, beetles, etc. through December. Even recently during falling water. The difference between this year and last is higher water versus lower flows but the bigguns are still looking up.
