Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam stand at 2,500cfs.  Runoff on the Snake continues, leaving the tailwater reach from the Dam down to Pacific Creek the sections with the most viable and consistent action.  Lake turnover was faster than normal this year, lasting about one week max, and visibility has returned to almost optimal.  Midges are popping throughout the day with BWOs added to the mix on those days with cool and wet weather. …

Snake River The Snake is in runoff, making the tailwater reach from Jackson Lake Dam down to Pacific Creek the most viable option for fishing within the watershed.  Flows from the dam currently stand at approximately 1,500cfs.  Water temps remain cool – maxing out at 40 degrees some days – but there is some surface action on midge imitations on deeper flats and in eddies.  Still, consistent production is occurring below the surface on midge…

Snake River Water temps are peaking in the low 50s on most reaches and a broad spectrum of emergences are occurring throughout the day.  Midges are popping early and in good numbers.  Capnia, skwala, and BWOs will then be out later in the day.  The sweet spot in action is occurring early from around 9:15m until 11am, then a slow spell between 11am and 2pm, before production increases again for the rest of the day. …

Snake River Warming temps have been the norm over the past week and a half but this has not put the Snake in runoff yet, but we should see it by the end of the month.  Expect some of the lower tributaries to come in off-color, but not necessarily to call the main river dirty a mile of so below where the confluences.  So get out and hit it while you can. A decent smattering…

Snake River Solid spring weather has created more comfortable fishing opportunities in the region.  Midges are still popping, but we also have more winter stones on the Snake along with a smattering of BWOs.  The most consistent surface action is occurring from around 1pm and lasting until around 4pm despite cooling water temps some days.  Although it is kind of early, some guides have been seeing one or two skwalas, so it is not surprising…
