It was truly the perfect week of fly-fishing on the Snake River. Great weather, stunning foliage and fantastic fishing. The dry fly fishing could not have been better. Fish were eating everything from size 18 royal wulffs, to size 6 chernobyl ants and hoppers all over the river. The water levels have really dropped (2730 cfs at Moose), which have concentrated many of the fish and made finding big fish much easier. The weather has started to turn today with clouds and drizzle, with cooler temps forecast for this week. I think the fishing will remain good, however, with hungry trout looking up, trying to put on their winter wool. Nastier weather ahead should spark better streamer fishing on the South Fork, and turn the Firehole back on in Yellowstone. Here is Fred Thranhardt with one of many 16" fish we found on Thursday that took dry flies. Nice fish Fred!
