Who Says 12 Year Olds Can't Fish?

Westbank Angler guide Brad Sutton took Morgan and her sister fishing on the lower Snake River in mid August. For all of you who did not think 12 year olds can fish, check out this picture of the 20 inch cutthroat caught near the Hoback River on the Snake. This was the biggest fish any of our boats caught that day. Great job Morgan, come catch a bigger one next summer!

Westbank Angler's Guide Mark Buljan video

This is a great video made by Westbank Angler's guide Mark Buljan. The video contains shots from his guided trips on the Snake River, Green River, and some of his days off fishing with friends on the South Fork of the Snake over in Idaho. Hope everyone enjoys!

Hoback Float

The Hoback is one of my favorite rivers in the area to both wade fish and float. Tuesday, some friends and I decided to take the raft down the river and do some fishing. I find this to be the most effective way to fish the Hoback considering the amount of water you can cover. The fish on the Hoback are very plentiful, but the majority of them are in the 8-12 inch range. However, some of the deeper pools on the river can produce some nice size fish. The hot flies for the day were red Winged Things, and golden Chubby Chernobyls. For more info on fishing the Hoback, please call(307-733-6483) or email (info@westbank.com) us here at the shop and we can point you in the right direction. Tight Lines, Hunter Heumann

Great Day on the Snake with Rob Ross

Monday, I was invited to fish the Snake River with Westbank Angler's guide Rob Ross, and good friend Drake Seligman. We started off the morning fishing red winged things and fat alberts. The fish were definitely rising at the bugs, but at a very slow pace. Later in the morning, Drake and I both put on streamers. The olive Silvey's Sculpin seemed to be the ticket. We pulled out a bunch of nice fish during the morning and early afternoon on the streamer. After lunch, we stuck with the streamer fishing and caught a few more fish, all in the 15-19 inch range. Thanks Rob and Drake for a great day on the water!
