Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam have been reduced to 2000 cfs over this past weekend.  The Snake is fishing very well and is getting better with each passing day.  Claassenia stoneflies are the primary fare on the water and they are literally everywhere.  However, we continue to see PMDs and caddis.  There are also a LOT of grasshoppers on the banks.  As an added bonus, there has been significant movement by Hecuba larva…

Fishing is still best from Jackson Lake Dam down to the Osprey Channel, but fishing on the surface has improved greatly from Pacific Creek down to Hoback Junction. It is still more productive with streamers and nymphs on these lower reaches, but it is worthwhile to fish on the surface in the afternoon with…
