Thorne River Fly Fishing Report

The Thorne River has been fishing really well. Water level has been on the drop and wading access is great. Some Sockeye have moved into the system but cutthroat trout have been the main attraction. Swinging steamers through the riffles and stripping through pools have both produced fish. I will be looking for Cutthroat an Dolly Varden to begin keying in on salmon eggs as more Sockeye and Pinks enter the system. There are probably better options out there if you want to target Sockeye, but if you do, small sparse flies such as the Montana Brassie or Teeny Nymph are good options.
