Today's Feeding Pattern
Clear, cold late-October conditions on the Henry's Fork mean trout will be feeding softly beneath the surface. Midges and small Baetis nymphs offer the most reliable subsurface opportunities.

About The Henry's Fork
Henry's Fork is one of the best-known dry-fly rivers in the West, with famous technical water from Last Chance down through the Ranch and beyond. The river blends spring-creek precision with freestone and tailwater characteristics depending on the section.
Rainbow trout are the headline species, with strong bug life built around midges, baetis, caddis, and larger summer hatches. Even when fish are feeding well, presentation discipline is part of the price of admission.
