It's the lack of toilets that keeps gravel pits mostly RVs, I think. Its got decent enough sites for tents and fire rings. it's free camping right next to the RR Ranch, featured in many a magazine...

The gravel pits is the spot traditionally used by folks who are in RVs. It's on scenic route 47, not far from the junction with hwy 20. Can't miss it really, see googleearth, appx 1 mile downstream...

Been that way for nearly two decades. Too many boats running the banks just hazes the big fish back into the middle of the river. The sad truth of that hatch on the lower Henry's is you can...

Water levels are dropping surprisingly fast. I guess the ground is absorbing a lot of the snowpack this year. It's a week ahead of where I expected it to be.

With the freshet release this year, ...

The Henrys is usually fishing well by mid-June even in a high water year. The Firehole and Warm rivers are the first rivers to clear up, usually fishable June 1.

Runoff is finally coming down. No more storage space in the lakes. Lower river is blown out and will be unfishable for now. Appx. 70% of snowpack remains.

Another big dump for the Henry's basin. Its going to take a flash flooding event in May to clear this much snowpack by early June. Rivers, even the tailwaters, could be fishing between poor to...

For sure. Lots of fish will be pressed up against the banks looking for nymphs and worms. If high sticking nymphs in the shallows at point blank range is your thing, theres plenty of fish to be...

We're probably going to hit 12% seasonal average by the end of the week. It's going to be a high water year. Even good old reliables like the Firehole and Warm rivers will be high and off color.

Been 3 years since the SF had high water! Runoff peaked at 12000cfs last year, very fishable. This year, maybe a 17000-20000cfs peak, imho

Early June with high water, I'd guess there are probably 20 anglers on the Henry's for every 1 who is willing to fish the SF above 15000cfs.

Fortunately for me, that's prime morel season so I can...

Uhhh....we got a lot of snowpack. HF basin is 10% ahead of average SWE. Early June, that usually means high, off color water on the Henry's and full on runoff everywhere else. Which means almost...
