Snake River Things have really popped on the Snake. Pretty good earlier this past week but over the past several days (since the 23rd) it has turned on big time. The river is clearing fast with the Buffalo Fork and Hoback rivers receding and there are tons of bugs on the water. You cannot find a reach that is not producing in a solid fashion.

Snake River Flows from Jackson Lake Dam have dropped to 2,400cfs and the tailwater reach down to the Osprey Channel is really fishing well. Yellow Sallies are appearing everywhere below Cattleman’s. Riffles are producing on the surface with everything from large attractors to minute emerger patterns. Nymphing is still the best way to go in most holding water types, but streamers are getting into fish in slower holding water, below Cattleman’s. The rest of the…

Good action on double nymph rigs in seams and eddies. Dry fly action is starting to come on strong with the best activity occurring from Cattlemans down to Pacific Creek. Trout are rising primarily to chironomid and callibaetis…
