I floated the South Fork of the Snake today, from Palisades Dam to Spring Creek bridge with good friends Stan Czarniak and John Holland. The flows were down to 13,200 cfs, which is a much more reasonable level. Although it is still a little fast and green in color, it actually fished quite well. We picked up a few nice browns on streamers early in the day. The streamer fishing slowed, but the nymph fishing really turned on. We boated numerous rainbows all the way down on Pat's Stonefly in a size 6. None of these broke the 16" mark. The fish of the day was a Cutthroat on Stan's line that was lost just shy of the net...it looked like it would have easily gone 20". Here is a photo of Stan with a typical South Fork rainbow. More soon!
