Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam are at approximately 1,750cfs.  Hatches are waning on the Snake, but you will still see PMDs just about every day (and for the rest of the year) and yellow sallies popping around.  Caddis are still emerging in intermediate fashion on the lower reaches from South Park down to Sheep Gulch, as are the first spruce moths of the year, which can dominate for a few hours each day…

Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam stand at just under 2,000cfs.  A mess of hatches continues on all reaches with the lower reaches from South Park down to Sheep Gulch fishing best on the surface.  No matter what piece of water you fish, you should see PMDs, caddis, yellow sallies, Alloperla golden stones, Calineuria golden stones, and flavs.  Much of the action is occurring from around 10am until 3pm most days, although there is…

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…
