Snake River Solid fishing at the moment with the best action being on the lower reaches from South Park down to Alpine.  BWOs dominate most days, with midges filling in gaps in the early morning hours.  October caddis are also around in bits-and-pieces.  Surface production is good from around 10:30am until 5pm with noon to 4pm being the sweet spot.  Dry-dropper and tandem dry rigs are working equally well.  Target riffles (particularly inside turns) and…

Snake River BWOs and mahoganies continue to dominate, and October caddis are making their first appearance of the year. Although they are sporadic at best.  Other caddis genera/species continue to migrate, making larva imitations very effective.  Fishing is most consistent on the lower reaches from Wilson down to Alpine.  Surface action starts around 11am most days but kicks into gear around 1:30pm.  Submerged structure, riffles, and drop-offs produce early.  Seams, eddies, and ledge rock pools…

Snake River We are now at winter flows on the Snake.  Expect micro caddis in the morning and intermittent BWOs throughout the day.  Mahoganies will join BWOs on cooler, wetter days, and this can offer the best surface action.  No matter the conditions, you will most likely see surface feeding no earlier than 11am (and even 12pm some days).  Dry-dropper and tandem dry rigs are the best way to go.  Target the inside turn of…

Snake River Autumn fishing is in full swing on the Snake with Hecuba and mahogany duns dominating the scene when conditions are right.  PMDs and micro caddis are around on warmer days and BWOs can intermix with Hecubas and mahogany duns on cooler, wetter days.  And expect to see the last of claassenia in the coming days. You may also be seeing the last of our terrestrials for the year, as well as tricos on…

Snake River Autumn is kicking into gear on the Snake with decent to good emergences of PMDs, Claassenia stones, Hecuba, and mahogany duns.  All reaches are fishing well and the action can be good from as early as 8am until 6pm or after depending on the water you target.  Focus primarily on seams and eddies in the morning hours and riffles, banks, and troughs in the afternoon.  Side channels can fish well all day long.…
