Magical Days


The fishing on the Snake the past couple of days has been nothing short of magical. Stunning weather with clear, warm skies and light winds have dominated, while the Aspen and Cottonwood trees on the river bottom are rapidly turning a bright gold. The icing on the cake is that the fishing has been spectacular. There have been nice cutthroat aggressively eating dry flies all over the river. The riffles have really turned on, along with many of the fast banks and slow tailouts. The Snake does not get much better than this. Mayfly attractors, along with hoppers have been producing very well on the Teton Park sections. I guided Liz McCabe again yesterday and she had two guests along with us guided by Wyoming legend (and great friend) Tom Montgomery. Here is Tom and angler Ted Haynes with a gorgeous 20 and 1/4 inch cutthroat taken on a small dry fly. Nice fish Ted!
