Snake River Autumn is kicking into gear on the Snake with decent to good emergences of PMDs, Claassenia stones, Hecuba, and mahogany duns.  All reaches are fishing well and the action can be good from as early as 8am until 6pm or after depending on the water you target.  Focus primarily on seams and eddies in the morning hours and riffles, banks, and troughs in the afternoon.  Side channels can fish well all day long.…

Snake River Yellow sallies and PMDs are still prevalent on the lower reaches below the Hoback confluence but waning some upstream.  Grasshoppers are starting to pop, especially upstream of Wilson Bridge.  Water temps continue to warm, so try and get an early start and finish up by 3PM, especially upstream of South Park Bridge. Surface patterns and nymphs are producing in the morning and thru early afternoon along banks with moderate currents, ledge rock pools,…
