Here in the Wood River Valley area we have been fortunate to have several winters with a healthy snowpack and resulting good flows in our rivers. The 2019 season is shaping up to be a great one. If you haven\u2019t made plans to come out here and fish Silver Creek, the Big Wood River, the Salmon River or the Big Lost River, do so now!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When the season opens on May 25, don\u2019t expect solitude if you plan to fish Silver Creek. With all freestone rivers running high and dirty, Silver Creek will be our most prominent fishery for several weeks. While the creek will certainly be popular, plenty of water is available for all anglers. Remember to \u201cbe kind, stay kind!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For Silver Creek, be sure to have a good selection of BWOs, PMDs, Callibaetis, ants, and beetles, and don\u2019t be afraid to throw a streamer or mouse pattern during low-light conditions. Here at Picabo Angler we\u2019ve got plenty of new, custom patterns on hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We\u2019ll start our annual brown drake watch at the opener. Keep your eyes on our fishing report and social media for up-to-date drake info!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As of this writing, the Big Lost River below Mackay remains fishable at 329 CFS. Don\u2019t make the long drive (Trail Creek Pass is still closed) without checking stream flows first. Above 350 CFS, wading on the lower Lost becomes quite difficult. Look for good midge and BWO activity in the\u00a0afternoons and\u00a0be equipped with your favorite tailwater nymphs such as zebra midges, copper johns\u00a0and princes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Picabo Angler Opening Weekend festivities\u00a0begin on Friday, May 24, at 5 p.m. Again this year\u00a0we\u2019ll have live music by Hillfolk Noir and storytelling by Hank Patterson,\u00a0\u201cyour world-renowned\u00a0fly-fishing\u00a0expert and\u00a0guide.\u201d\u00a0Sawtooth Brewery will be on hand to provide great local beers, and the kitchen at\u00a0Picabo\u00a0Angler will\u00a0feature a great dinner.\u00a0On Saturday, May 25, be sure to stop by the shop for great new gear and\u00a0flies, and\u00a0say hi to all of us at\u00a0Picabo\u00a0Angler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Throughout the weekend,\u00a0numerous vendors and local resource agencies will be here to talk about new products and our local fisheries.\u00a0We\u2019ll be here, rain or shine, so be sure to come see us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Peace, love and fly-fishing!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In just under two weeks, Silver Creek and other local fisheries will open up for the 2019 season.
