Valley Rain


There's a very wet weather system moving into Western Wyoming today, bringing snow to the mountains and heavy rain to the valley. Still good news for skiers and anglers. The water content in the snowpack is still on the rise, while we are losing valley snow to the rain. As the valley snow recedes, boat ramps on the Snake will begin to open. Not long now until we are able to float! Although I have not wet a line yet this spring, I am still getting good fishing reports from Southeastern Idaho. Nymphing has been successful for hungry browns and rainbows. Here is a shot of Jack Dennis store manager Chris Jay with a nice Snake River Cutthroat taken below Moose bridge last April on the day they cleared the boat ramp to open.
