Hi everyone, I fished the Wood River yesterday and found the trout to be very cooperative when presented an imitation of the terrestrial kind. This is the time of the year when trout start keying in on such insects as ants, flying ants, bees, wasps, inchworms, and beetles. Trout took my wasp pattern very aggressively, a size #12 hook, green rabbit fur body, loose cell foam tied in as a shellback, and two to three turns of a brown furnace hackle just behind the head of the fly. Trout also liked my sparkle ant pattern in sizes #16 and # 14. The good news is, water level is just about right and with all of the rain we had this past spring and early summer I believe the Wood River will be above normal regarding water height for the upcoming fall season, it is usually very low for that time of the year. Most of the trout took ants and wasps and one fish took a Gray Soft Hackle Dry fly. I did see some BWO's and a few yellow mayflies later in the afternoon and evening.
