Snake River The entire river continues to fish well with larger fish being taken on the upper reaches above South Park but more showing up on the lower river from South Park down to Sheep Gulch. Dry flies is the name of the game – caddis in the morning and PMDs in the afternoon. There are also a more than decent amount of grasshopper and carpenter ants around. To top it off, we are beginning…

Snake River The Snake has the clarity few of streams in the area are achieving and is fishing good on every reach from Jackson Lake Dam down to Sheep Gulch and should fish even better with each passing week over the next month. Keep in mind that water temps are fairly warm upstream on Wilslon Bridge with late afternoon readings in the 64 degree range. They have been peaking three to four degrees cooler below…

The water you target with dry…

There are not a lot of larger fish to be had, but you can definitely rack up some…

Snake River Flows on the Snake are in recession but we are still several days away from significant visibility. As such, the tailwater reach below Jackson Lake Dam remains the most fishable piece of water where flows are at approximately 2,900cfs. Nymphing remains the best option above Cattleman’s while streamers are a solid choice downstream. The big change has been increased surface action with hatches of PMDs and caddis. Imitations of these bugs, as well…
