My trips the last couple of days have been with One Fly contestants testing the waters of the Snake. The event takes place this weekend on the Snake and the South Fork of the Snake. Although it is technically a "contest", it really is a fundraising event that raises over $100,000 each year for stream improvement projects in the area. It's been going on here for almost 25 years, and was started by Jack Dennis and Paul Bruun. Thirty-five teams of four, two days of float fishing, one fly each day. Everyone wants to know right now what fly to use. Not sure yet! It will all depend on the weather this weekend. Hopefully the great cloudcover we have had this week will stick around, and we can fish some mayflies. Most anglers would prefer to fish a large foam fly, such as a chernobyl ant. The small mayflies often do better, though, due to the cooler weather we often see this time of year. Please click on the link to the Jackson Hole One Fly to learn more. Fishing was great today from Moose to Wilson. There were fish all over the place looking up for drakes, mahoganies and hecubas. Here is orthopaedic surgeon (the human carpenter) and one fly extraordinaire from the Thomas and Thomas team, Riley Jones with a beautiful Snake River Cutty.
