The Spring is the right time to fish the Gorgeous Jefferson River! This past week it has been game on with great looking trout and decent numbers for this river. Skwallas were still in the mix this last week, but overall nymphing has been the most productive.
The Jefferson River can be quite productive early season, before runoff and for about a month after runoff. As the summer heat and water starts to be diverted for irrigation the bite starts to wane. If your able to experience it in the Spring and Early Summer it can be a very enjoyable day, not huge numbers but larger trout and solitude from the people hatch!
