The Box Canyon boat ramps are open, however the river is very low, so tread carefully. The Salmonflies are crawling! It never hurts to try a Henry’s Fork Foam Stone Salmon fly size #4, and a size 6 black Pat’s Rubberlegs as a dropper. You can also get plenty of action on smaller zebra midges and pheasant tails. On a cloudy day it never hurts to strip a streamer. I like a size 4 Olive Sculpzilla in the Box Canyon. The river at Last Chance can fish good as well, there has still been some caddis and march browns hanging around, so you might see some fish up in the afternoon. Try a size 16 EZ Caddis or a size 18 Spent Partridge Caddis in peacock. It also never hurts to drop a Lawson’s Partridge Caddis Emerger size 18 tan or olive below your dry.
