Snake River The Snake is slowly dropping and fishing is good but, as with almost all the streams in the area, water temperatures are warming – hitting 64 to 66 degrees by 6pm. Still, the fishing has been solid in almost all types of holding water whether you are fishing a dry, a nymph, or a streamer.  And more larger trout are appearing on the scene on just about every reach.  Focus on the morning and…

Snake River The Snake is getting into prime mid-summer form and should remain this way for the next several weeks. One thing to watch is the water temperatures, which are getting into the low 60s in the early evening. PMDs are the primary bugs on the water, with a smattering of yellow sallies and caddis (the latter in the morning and evening) thrown in. Grasshoppers are starting to appear on every reach.  Some reaches also…

All reaches from Jackson Lake Dam down to the confluence with the Greys…

Snake River We are in full runoff but, just like last year, a warm spring and even warmer early summer means that the river will be in shape earlier than average.

Their might be a bit of a surge again as warm temps return this coming week, but it is doubtful we will get back up to 15,000 cfs.…

Snake River The Snake continues to fish in typical pre-runoff fashion with good surface action for at least a few hours each day and a solid streamer bite throughout most days.  Warm temps are producing high elevation temps that cause the river to be off-color in the morning.  On the best days, the Snake is clearing by 11am to noon each day depending on the intensity of temps.  It is crystal clear by 1pm.  But…
