2010 Fishing Coming Soon!

When will the water rise around Pinedale? Hopefully before the fish start too! Our local waters are hurting bad currently. Low water levels are effected more then just the number of floatable trips. However, on the bright side, rumors around town are that the Green is off-color from run-off and starting to rise this weekend. The New Fork is still clear as of today, but I am betting that it too will see some pre-run-off conditions soon. The fishing around pinedale will soon be postponed for a few weeks while we wait for the water to clear, but for the fish's sake, We need water bad! Meanwhile, enjoy some local lakes, ponds or tailwaters for a few weeks. The ice-packed snowdrifts and banks in the Wind River Range will take awhile to break down and clear out the rivers.



Here is my biggest brown trout to date. An absolute monster. Hooked jaw male brown that measured 27 inches and was figured near 10 lbs. My amazing wife even drove out to my fishing hole to take photos for me. This fish still swims the local lake and hopefully someone else will have the joy of catching him someday! Catch and Release is the only way to go!


Here is a nice pre-spawning brown holding in some pocket water on the Green River. This day will forever go down in my fishing book as the coldest day of fishing EVER!



Here is a fish from the 201- season! A nice Brown on a nice day! You can count the sunny days on one hand this spring.
