Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam are at just under 3,000cfs.  Cool weather and lower releases are allowing for better fishing than we have had since the first week of July.  Claassenia stoneflies continue to emerge.  PMDs are around on all reaches at some point during each day.  Carpenter Ants dominate the terrestrial scene (although grasshoppers are certainly around).  And Hecubas will be present and in good numbers when wetter weather and cloud cover…

On all reaches from Pacific Creek down to Sheep Gulch.  Caddis are still present in the early morning hours and PMDs can be around most days to at least a smattering of a degree in…

The canyon reach from South Park down to Sheep Gulch is fishing well with double nymph rigs and streamers fished…
