Water Temps are Warming. Fish Diligently.
Snake River Caddis continue to pop in the morning and PMDs after 10:30am and terrestrials – primarily grasshoppers, beetles, and a few carpenter ants – can be out in decent numbers in the afternoon. Surface fishing has been best from around 10am until 2pm. Targeting banks can pay off but there can be better production by being several feet off of prime holding water. The same can be said for seams and riffles, with better action coming at the tails (although the heads of ea


July Continues to Bring Smiles
Snake River Still decent hatches of PMDs, yellow sallies, caddis around on all reaches. Smaller golden stones are waning but still around from time to time and grasshopper are starting to pop in good fashion, as are cicadas. As a result, dry fly fishing remains good most days and great on those days when the stars align. Just keep an eye out for rising water temps, which are starting to hit 68 degrees or higher on all reaches after 3pm. When temperatures are safe, most wa


Everything Continues to Fish
Snake River A smorgasbord of bugs – PMDs, yellow sallies, golden stones, and leftover caddis – continue to dominate the scene on the Snake. Slow current targets like side channels, eddies, and the inside turn of riffles can offer surface consistent action from 10am (or earlier in some cases) until approximately 4pm. Riffles, seams, and troughs start to fish around 12:30pm and can continue to produce until dusk. Double/triple nymph rigs are working best on the lower reaches f
