The Jefferson River is back on the menu, but still pretty low. Things are picking up as the nights get considerably cooler, but we are still waiting for some of the great fall days when the Jefferson River brown trout are on the feed.
The Month Ahead:
Going to be a few more weeks before fishing the Jefferson River is going to make some sense. Because it was such a hot and dry summer, the Jefferson River may not fish all that well until later in the fall.
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
The Jefferson River is a nice fall fishery. In mid-September, flows bump up just a bit when irrigation subsides, which helps quite a bit. The trout count is low on the Jefferson River so don't expect a big numbers day, but this is a nice location to see few boats and an occasional heavy trout.
