It was another banner week for us at TroutHunter on the Henry’s Fork in Yellowstone Country! This year was among the coldest weeks we’ve spent in Idaho in September, but the fishing was superb. Our location on the Henry’s Fork had us waking to freezing temperatures and often wet snow, but if we moved downstream as well as lower in elevation the weather warmed, If we stayed in Island Park or moved higher in elevation into Yellowstone Park the weather remained cold or might have seen snow all day long.
We had a great time seeing all of our old friends who work and live in Idaho along with some repeat participants as well as some new folks who were new to the group. Everyone experienced great fishing and we all enjoyed the incredible scenery and superb company. Have a look at some photos from the week!
