River Flows Heading in the Right Direction

Well, this has been a crazy water year. There’s really just no two ways about that. On many of the drainages in North Eastern Utah we have had flooding, minor bridges washed out, and fields buried in water.

Luckily the Crystal Ranch and the almost 2 miles of private water on the Yellowstone River that flows through it have escaped largely unharmed.

High water has scoured out big deep holes, has moved boulders to new locations, and has placed big trees in new locations – all things that the trout on the Yellowstone tend to like. Last year had similarly high flows and the summer and Autumn fishing was as good as we’ve seen.

Water levels are finally on the decline and within a couple of weeks we should be fishing large dry flies for very healthy and hungry brown, rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout.

Now is the time to book your late summer or early fall fly fishing vacation.

Our first season with the newly completed lodge is going to be one to remember.
