Fathers And Sons




The past couple of days on the Snake have produced some very solid fishing. On Monday, I guided the father and son team of Dick and Greg Podeska. Greg is my next door neighbor and a local teacher here in Jackson. His dad was visiting from New York, and these guys had a great day from Deadman's to Moose. Today, I took a father and son team from Missoula, Montana. Tom and Chris Stroup got to experience one of the best days so far this summer on Moose to Wilson. (Redemption after last week's backhoe incident!!). Chris is a fly fishing guide out of Missoula, and came down to try his hand at the Snake with his dad. They had a fantastic day...great fishing from start to finish. The combination of fish looking for flies and solid anglers meant many fish in the net today. The river is in great shape right now, so don't miss it! Big bugs in the main river and mayfly attractors for the picky sidechannel fish. Don't be afraid to put a nymph dropper underneath either...Chris and Tom netted many nice fish today using this tactic in fast water. Here are Chris and Greg with some very typical fish. See you out there!
