Snake River Fishing remains really solid on the Snake with stable winter flows and cool, crystal clear water on every reach.  Blue-winged olives and mahogany duns are the primary emergences at the moment, but we are beginning to see more October caddis just about everywhere.  There are also some PMDs still about.  Double nymph rigs (in riffles and on seams, and banks) and streamers (on banks and structure) are the way to go in the…
