Snake River Still midging most waters at the moment and it will take some effort to get to prime water with all the snow we have had so far this month. Nonetheless, it can be worth it if you hit the primetime period of around 11am to 3:30pm. Nymphing in slower water types and slow current eddies is the name of the game. Deeper riffle tailouts are worthwhile targets as well. Dry fly action is not off the charts but is respectable from about noon until 3pm. Target the same water as you would with nymphs. Shallow holding water with slow currents are offering opportunities from 1pm to around3pm. Small streamers fished on floating or hover lines are working in deeper backwater channels and o
Snake River Same story on the Snake as we had in December, although warmer days are producing a bit better surface action if you are patient. This top-water action has been in a tight window from around 10:30am until around 2pm. Use low-laying film patterns fished in tandem with a higher riding pattern and target eddies, slow water along banks and structure, and riffle pools. Nymphs are producing best and can be fished with consistency from around 10am until 4pm. Midge imitations are producing best, although larger jig nymphs are actually getting into fish in some faster holding water types. Target riffle tails, riffle pools, and eddies with slower currents.
