Thunder River can be epic in November. Overcast days can have aggressive browns jerking the rod out of your hands, and the egg bite is on to boot. Look for nymphing to be best, as hatches have faded to only a few mayflies and midges, but dry fly chances will present themselves along soft edges and slack water if the clouds cooperate. A standard set up this time of year is a stonefly or prince on point with a glow bug dropped 12 inches off the back. Look for caddis larva, and mayfly nymphs to produce fish as well. The whitefish spawn sometimes has the fish aggressively on the egg bite so glow bugs can make a good day a great day this time of year. Fish will be holding in softer water and drop offs below gravel bars and riffles. Deeper pools and tail-outs of runs seem to produce more fish as they get sluggish with the cooling waters of fall and winter. There are also some bigger browns in the river coming up from the Colorado this time of year. As we move deeper into winter we start to see ice form on the upper stretches, which for now are still fishing great. Once the arctic express hits only section of river below the confluence with the Pan will be open enough to fish. Floating ice is always a concern so keep your eyes upstream and listen for ice jams moving downstream.
