Snake River Still up-and-down temperatures over the past couple of weeks with some days having highs in the 20s and other days having highs in the 40s. Either way, action on the Snake is clearly leaning towards the mid and late day hours, generally between 11am and 5pm. Chironomids dominate the scene from late morning until mid-afternoon. Nymphs are working throughout the day in riffle pools and seams. There is more action on them at…

We had periods of off-color water, but when there was clarity fishing was solid. Flows are now at their winter levels, so expect low, gin clear water until runoff next spring. Hecubas are still about, but they are dominated by infrequen PMDs, blue-winged olives,…
