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 stand are dropping ever so slightly this week. Still higher than normal but fishing is getting into shape with each passing day, especially with the recent round of wet weather we have had.  Claassenia stones continue to emerge during the overnight hours, making large dry attractors a good way to go in both heavy and slower currents.  Caddis are around in the morning and PMDs are making an…
