Teton Park Fishing Better

I've been guiding on the Snake all week and the river is fishing well overall, with each section fishing a little different than the other. The canyon sections below South Park have actually slowed a little on dry flies...I think that the higher water volume and the amount of boat pressure down there has taken some toll. Dam to Pacific Creek is fishing great, with lots of bugs...caddis and some early tricos are keeping fish looking up. Don't expect larger fish up there, but the chance to catch some numbers of fish is good. From Pacific Creek all the way to Wilson, the river is still rolling along at a nice clip, so accuracy with big flies is mandatory. I don't think that the larger fish have found their summer lies just yet...we're finding them all over the place still. Some in deep water, some in riffles and some on slow flats. Not as many fish yet in the log jams and structure that we usually see on the Snake. The tributaries are still keeping the river somewhat high for this time of year...the longer the river stays a little higher, the better the fall fishing should be. At Moose, it's flowing at 3900 cfs. I guided Jackson Hole One Fly extraordinaire Tom Smith today, with his friend Mark LeBaron from Moose to Wilson. They fished well, attacking the river with large chernobyl ants in all sorts of water. Here is Mark with an 18" Cutty that fell for a chernobyl, just below Moose.
