Snake River Good, diverse, broad hatches at the moment of Hecuba, PMDs, Claassenia, caddis, and craneflies. Look for the latter two in the morning, the former two in the afternoon (after 11am), and Claassenia throughout the day.  You might even see some tricos sporadically during the mid-morning hours and mahogany duns in the afternoon.  Just about all holding water types are producing throughout the day.  Dry-dropper rigs are producing everywhere as well, although there are…

Surface patterns and nymphs are producing in the morning and thru early afternoon along banks with moderate currents, ledge rock pools,…

Snake River Water temps are beginning to creep into voluntary “hoot owl” mode, so an early start is imperative.  Fishing has waned a little since the solid four week period from June 16th to July 11th.  Still, success can be had with precision, focused fishing.  Caddis are prevalent in the morning until around 11am. PMDs and yellow sallies dominate the rest of the day. The canyon reaches from South Park down to Sheep Gulch are…
