Snake River Runoff is underway on the Snake, although fluctuating high elevation air temperatures can bring on increased visibility from Pacific Creek down to Hoback. When this visibility is around three feet, there is opportunity for surface action on skwala patterns and large, articulated streamers. This activity can last anywhere from two to four hours in the afternoon, typically from between noon and 3pm. The tailwater reach below Jackson Lake Dam offers the most consis
