Snake River Flows have been coming down from Jackson Lake Dam and currently stand at just over 2000cfs. Cool weather over the past week is giving way to much warmer temps for the next couple of weeks (valley floor highs in the mid-50s to upper 60s). The river has serious clarity for this time of year. Skwalas were fewer and further between over the past week but trout were still rising to both naturals and…

Snake River Angler Fly Fishing Report for April 24th, 2017

Water temps are still chilly but have improved a couple of degrees in the…

Without question, the best fishing has been in slower runs and current margins at the mid-section and tail of riffles, seams, and confluence lines with double…

Snake River Angler Fly Fishing Report for March 26th, 2017
Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam are currently at 3,000cfs. This is definitely the highest I can remember seeing flows this early in the season. We were dealing mostly with streamers a week and a half ago as fish continued to acclimate to higher water. That acclimation has, for the most part taken place. A little by little, more fish are being caught on dries and nymphs, thanks in large part to increasing water…
