Snake River Runoff is coming to an end with all tributaries peaking within the past two weeks and the Snake showing substantially better visibility.  It is safe to say that all reaches are now fishing and the vast majority of sections displaying broad hatches, including caddis and PMDs (both of which dominate most days), alloperla golden stones, calinueria golden stones and yellow sallies (the latter of which can hatch heavily on the lower reaches below…

Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam currently stand at 2,900cfs.  This is the happy place right now for gamefish on the tailwater reach of the Snake.  Callibaetis continue to pop along with midges and now a smattering of PMDs.  There is more surface action on the entire reach, so be prepared to fish either dry-dropper rigs or tandem dries.  Double/triple nymph rigs are still receiving more consistent action.  No matter what tactic you employ,…

Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam stand at 4,000cfs.  Runoff continues on the Snake, making the tailwater reach below the dam the most viable water to hit.  Water temps remain cool, but visibility is top level and there is action on double/triple nymph rigs and streamers in eddies, on seams, and along submerged structure.  Much of the action has been occurring in the lower third of the water column (unless on streamers).  However, we…

Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam stand at 2,500cfs.  Runoff on the Snake continues, leaving the tailwater reach from the Dam down to Pacific Creek the sections with the most viable and consistent action.  Lake turnover was faster than normal this year, lasting about one week max, and visibility has returned to almost optimal.  Midges are popping throughout the day with BWOs added to the mix on those days with cool and wet weather. …

Snake River The Snake is in runoff, making the tailwater reach from Jackson Lake Dam down to Pacific Creek the most viable option for fishing within the watershed.  Flows from the dam currently stand at approximately 1,500cfs.  Water temps remain cool – maxing out at 40 degrees some days – but there is some surface action on midge imitations on deeper flats and in eddies.  Still, consistent production is occurring below the surface on midge…
