#731B Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/731B Presented By: Yellowstone Teton Territory   The West is home to some incredible bug hatches, but only a few can match the size and intensity of the great salmon fly hatch. Today, we're diving into the magic of this hatch with Justin Adams of the South Fork Lodge. We will talk about the Middle Fork, the Salmon River, and even the Grand Canyon. Find out how Justin puts a 90-degree bend in the leader to fish nymphs more effectively. Plus, he'll share the #1 thing he tells his clients and why fish on the South Fork have scuffed noses! Episode Chapters with Justin Adams on the South Fork Lodge 04:54 - Justin started as a part-time guide while working for the Forest Service for 10 years. It was around 2018 when he went all in and started guiding over 100 days a season.   Fishing the South Fork Justin says the South Fork is one of the best-known fisheries in the region. It holds a lot of fish per mile and can handle plenty of fishing pressure while still producing great days on the water. You can fish for cutthroat, brown trout, rainbows, and even hybrids called cutbows. Seasons & Timing Winter (December to February)   Fishing slows, but snowmobiling and skiing take over. Ice fishing is possible on nearby reservoirs. Spring (March to May)  High water from runoff, but big browns are on the move. Worm patterns and big nymphs work best. Summer (June to August)   The legendary Salmon Fly hatch happens around July 4th.  Dry flies dominate, with fish looking up for big bugs. Fall (Sept–Oct)   Low water levels make for easier wading. Brown trout start spawning, so target deep holes away from the beds. Most anglers visit in July, especially around the 4th, when the salmon flies hatch. Justin's Go-To Set-Up for the South Fork  13:13 - Justin swears by a simple but deadly setup, which is the double Pat's Rubber Legs or what they also call "two turds". He usually runs it under a mini bobber with a swivel setup, and if he needs more depth, he says he'll add a split shot.  Guides also swear by the Mic Drop, a simple olive-bodied fly with an orange collar. It looks like a zebra midge but could imitate just about anything. Sizes 16 to 20 work best, depending on the conditions.   https://youtu.be/QUK-if6brp0?si=CNuh5On4qwtoBGXQ Rods Justin swaps between 9 ft and 10 ft rods for nymphing. He uses the 10 ft rod (usually a 5-weight with a 6-weight line) for easier mending. Since they're mending all day, he says the extra length helps control the drift. It's all about keeping the fly line behind the indicator for a slow, natural presentation.   Leader Justin builds his leaders instead of using store-bought tapered ones. His setup uses a hinge system under the indicator, creating a 90-degree rig.   Why Fish on the South Fork Have Scuffed Noses During the salmon fly hatch, the trout on the South Fork get aggressive. They're actively picking them off the rocks instead of just waiting for bugs to land. Many fish end up with scuffed noses or even a bit of "road rash" from rubbing against the rocks while feeding.   The One Fly The One Fly is a fly fishing competition and fundraiser on the South Fork and Upper Snake River. Anglers get just one fly. If they lose it,  they're out. Bigger fish earn more points, so strategy matters. The event brings in top anglers from all over, but local guides lead the way. https://youtu.be/9ZxmTBHEqAs?si=04eovcZemagJD5h2 The Rainbros Tournament  Jimmy Kimmel and his crew fish every spring in their dry-fly-only competition. The rules are simple: Topwater fish are two points, subsurface is one, and a whitefish is a minus point. Michael Keaton, Jason Bateman, and Huey Lewis get in on it.   Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/731B

In this episode of the Fly Fishing Insider podcast, host Christian Bacasa interviews Kip Vieth from Wildwood Float Trips. They discuss bass fishing in the Mississippi River and the unique characteristics of the fishery. The conversation covers topics such as water temperatures, fish behavior, fly patterns, and fishing techniques. Kip shares his insights and experiences as a guide in the area, providing valuable information for anglers interested in smallmouth bass fishing. In this conversation, Kip Vieth discusses his approach to fishing for smallmouth bass. He explains that he primarily fishes topwater near the bank or rocks, but in the summer, he switches to mid-river patterns. Vieth emphasizes the importance of manipulating the fly after the strip, creating a motion after the motion to entice strikes. He also discusses the significance of fishing the drop-offs and edges, as well as the visual aspect of smallmouth fishing. Vieth recommends using larger rods and flies to trigger aggressive strikes from smallmouth bass.   Takeaways The Mississippi River offers excellent smallmouth bass fishing opportunities, with clear water, diverse habitats, and a variety of fly fishing techniques. Water temperatures in the river range from 55°F in May to the mid-80s°F in August, with the best fishing usually occurring in the spring and early fall. Topwater flies like poppers and divers are effective for smallmouth bass, especially in the summer. Other successful fly patterns include crayfish imitations, minnow patterns, and sculpin patterns. Fishing techniques vary depending on the season and conditions, but dead drifting flies, stripping streamers, and using a sink tip line are common approaches. Catch and release is the norm for smallmouth bass in the Mississippi River, with regulations allowing for the keeping of one fish over 20 inches. The river is also home to other species like muskie, pike, and walleye, providing additional fishing opportunities. Fishing topwater near the bank or rocks is effective for smallmouth bass. In the summer, switch to mid-river patterns and focus on drop-offs and edges. Manipulate the fly after the strip to create a motion after the motion. Using larger rods and flies can trigger aggressive strikes from smallmouth bass.
