Nymphs are producing from about 11am until dusk with the sweet spot occurring after 1pm. Go with dry-dropper rigs
Its November, and the Snake and South Fork are the Places to be.
Snake River Dry flies are producing after 11am, with the best action is occurring after 2pm as midge and BWO emergences intensify. The most productive water has been in ledge rock pools, the inside turn of riffles and riffle current margins, banks with moderate depths and slow currents, and seams separating backwater channels from main channel currents. Nymphs are working and it is a toss-up between double rigs and dry-droppers in terms of which is working best. Much of thi
