Greetings!
As we gear up for another busy summer season, we look to the snow-capped peaks of the Tetons, Big Holes, Snake River Range and Gros Ventres and welcome the arrival of spring run-off. With the recent warm weather, many rivers and tributaries are gaining volume and color, and look for these rivers and feeder creeks to only get bigger as the warmer days and nights press on. With Mother's Day Caddis hatching and the Salmonflies on the Henry's Fork, and spring flushing flows being reduced on the South Fork as we speak, early season can be a great time of year to get out on the water after a long winter and experience some great fishing without the summer crowds. Don't worry if your favorite spot is blown-out, high, or muddy; there is plenty of water to fish in our local area. It may take a little extra planning, watching water flows and reading fishing reports, but getting to target fish, some with dry flies after a long hard winter, is not an opportunity to miss.
With our Victor, Jackson and Island Park locations now open 7 days a week, we look forward to seeing you on your next spring fishing outing. Be sure to stop by and see our new expanded fly selection, purchase your 2009 Idaho fishing license or get up to date fishing information. With back to back plentiful winter snowpacks, the 2009 season is not to be missed! Thanks again and we look forward to fishing with you in 2009!

| WCA Custom Flies!!! |
|
At WorldCast Anglers, we are serious about flies. After all, these are the most important components of your tackle. Fish do not care about what rod you are using or which line you are casting, but they are sure known to reject flies at a seconds notice. With over 40 guides on the water during the peak summer months, we have taken the most important information (what is working and what is catching fish) and created our own WCA patterns to fool even those most picky and frustrating trout. These patterns are not just specific to our area, feel free to try our custom flies your favorite freestone stream, tailwater, or spring creek. We guarantee that your fish have never seen these colors or flies before.
Based off some of the most successful patterns, we have tweaked colors, sizes, even thread colors to what the trout want. Pictured above is the WCA Custom Pink Tailwater bug. We know fish in the South Fork and other tailwaters like shiny metallic patterns and mixed it with an awesome pink UV dubbing to create an effect of the ultimate tailwater trout slayer. This is only one of the proven custom WCA patterns available to you this summer. Feel free to stop by and check out the entire assortment. We know you will not be able to pass on only one!
Greater Jackson Hole Fishing Report
 With the arrival of spring run off, fishing in the local area is situated around a couple fisheries with clear water and hungry trout. Don't get discouraged, incredible fishing conditions are on the way for this summer. As the Bureau of Reclamation continues to decrease the massive spring flows of the South Fork, the river should drop into shape, as flows stabilize and water temperatures warm and offer some great spring fishing days. With the Idaho General Fishing Season Opener (May 23rd, 2009) closed sections of the Henry's Fork (The Box Canyon and river immediately below Ashton Reservoir), as well as the Teton and Fall Rivers will open an additional hundred miles of river to fish during the next spring months. Snake River flows from Jackson Lake Dam are expected to increase and peak at 6,000 cfs on June 8th and then gradually decrease to 3,000 cfs for the rest of the summer. Don't forget, the YNP Fishing season also opens on May 23rd, 2009. The Firehole should be in prime shape for opening day and WorldCast Anglers is a Yellowstone National Park Outfitter permitee.
Our current conditions webpage hosts all the weather, water flows and reservoir information reported for all the major drainages in our region. Combined with our updated online fishing reports, we can provide you with the most up-to-date fishing conditions in our local area. We are receiving new fishing reports daily, so feel free to call any of our locations or send us an email about where to fish in the Jackson Hole/Teton Valley area.
