Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam currently stand at approximately 2,000 cfs. The Snake is low and gin clear and almost in perfect condition except for warm water temperatures, which fly fishers need to keep an eye on.  The primary emergence at the moment is PMDs in the afternoon.  There will be a smattering of caddis in the morning.  Other bugs that are out and worth imitating are grasshoppers and craneflies. There is little…

Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam are at 1,750cfs.  Water temps are moderating but it is very much worthwhile to keep an eye on the gauges and stop fishing around 3pm when temps go over 68 degrees.  Caddis are around in the morning and PMDs in the afternoon with yellow sallies emerging intermittently, particularly on the lower reaches below the Hoback confluence.  Riffles, seams, confluences, and submerged structure are key waters to target.  Banks…

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…
