The Snake is still holding up very well right now, with very good fishing up and down the river. The river is running 2680 cfs at Moose right now, with great fishing in the main river and still just enough water in many of the side channels to find nice fish. After a few cloudy and rainy days, we woke today to very clear skies. The day was very slow to warm, however, with strong winds and cool temps. Blustery, cool conditions with yellow leaves under blue skies were the backdrop to a classic fall day in the mountains today. Ausable wulffs, royal wulffs, parachute hare's ears and gray drakes all worked well today. We even found a few fish looking at large circus peanuts (orange chernobyls) in fast water. Here is Jordan Webb of Boulder, Colorado with a nice Snake River Cutty that fell for a royal wulff. The Snake should remain very good in the coming weeks. As the Bureau of Reclamation slowly lowers the releases from Jackson Lake Dam, bringing the river to winter flows, the river should only get better. As October nears, thoughts will drift to the great brown trout fishing to come on the regions streams, including the South Fork, the Lewis, the Madison, the Big Hole and the Missouri. More soon!
