Big Wood River
#1
FISHING: Good
CLOSED Opening Day - May 29th

If the river doesn't look to muddy, and an angler doesn't mind doing some bush whacking, the opening weekend could provide some limited action. Try prospecting slow currents, side channels, and very gentle riffles with huge dry flies that will support big bead head droppers. A giant Orange Stimulator fished on 7 feet of 2X with a size 12 or bigger Bead Head Prince Nymph dropped 18 inches on 3X below it should produce strikes from any fish that may be in the feeding mood. Plan on hitting many access points, as slow enough current speeds will be hard to find the first week of the season. Also be careful of spawning fish that may be present in side channels. If you see a fish or two that appear dark (almost black) sitting on a very clean gravel bottom, then you have found spawners, please leave them alone. Definitely do not step on these gravels, as they may hold trout eggs, one bad step and several thousand Rainbows can be killed.
