Took the drift boat up to the S Fork for the summer this weekend. We launched at the Swan Valley bridge both days and fished to Conant take out.
The bugs haven't gotten going yet. I caught a few on big stone fly nymphs, but there were no hatches save two yellow sallys I saw come off on saturday.
We caught about 30 fish each day between 3 of us on a 4 hour float. Only one 20", the rest were 12" to 16" with a couple of smaller ones.
Bows were healthy, Cutts looked post spawn and worn out, we only caught 1 brown.
Water temp was 54 and flow was 12,000 CFS.
We stayed at Humphry's cabins for $60, used Julies shuttle service for $10, ate a great steak dinner in Ivins for $14 and paid $20 a month to park the boat in a gated, fenced, locked storage area.
Good trip, I'll wait until after the 4th to go up again.
