Snake River Surface action on midges is occurring primarily from around noon until 4pm in deeper ledge rocks, eddies and riffle pools (especially those with moderate depths and slow currents). Tandem rigs - double emergers or adult/emerger combos – are working best. Double nymphs can produce in deeper, faster pools but the best action on nymphs is coming on dry-droppers in riffles pools and eddies. Two to three feet of dropper tippet should suffice.

Snake River Fishing is decent on the surface with chironomid imitations with ledge rock pools and slow current riffle pools producing best from approximately 11am to around 3pm. The head of riffles can also produce on warmer days for about one to one and a half hours on warmer days. Keep in mind that there is a lot of flux regarding prime surface time. Look for action anytime between 10am and 4pm. Nymph rigs and dry-dropper rigs are a good choice when fish are not keying i

Snake River Inconsistency is the name of the game on the Snake in terms of surface action. Intense feeding on midges can bee from 10am to 1pm some days in riffle pools. On other days, it is after 2pm and occurring in backwater side channels and eddies with slow currents and moderate depths. The best plan of action is to fish hard, keep your eyes open, and when you see consistent surface feeding, stay on those fish. Nymphing has been decent just about every day and downrigh
