Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam are ramping down to winter levels and the Snake is getting into its typical autumn fashion with cool, crystal clear water.  The best action is on the lower reaches from South Park to Sheep Gulch, with the middle reaches from Moose to South Park coming in a clear 2nd.  PMDs continue to be the dominant the scene, while mahogany duns and BWOs will take the lead with the…

Snake River Claassenia is waning but still decent emergences of PMDs from 11am until mid-afternoon.  Hecuba and mahogany duns can be out in strong numbers on cooler and wetter days.  The entire river is fishing, but the best production is coming on the lower and middle reaches from Moose Bridge down to Sheep Gulch.  Attractor patterns fished with droppers are producing along banks and structure as well as on riffle current margin, seams, and eddies. …

Surface action in the morning has been best with larger to mid-sized attractor patterns in most water types, although riffle pools, seams, and side channels with slower currents are outperforming others.  Banks…

Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam are at just under 3,000cfs.  Cool weather and lower releases are allowing for better fishing than we have had since the first week of July.  Claassenia stoneflies continue to emerge.  PMDs are around on all reaches at some point during each day.  Carpenter Ants dominate the terrestrial scene (although grasshoppers are certainly around).  And Hecubas will be present and in good numbers when wetter weather and cloud cover…
