We've made it to August and the fishing is only getting better and better. Each day on the Snake has been better than the previous as the fish are settling in to their summer flows. The flow at Moose is at about 3,500 cfs...a great level for this time of year. It is still somewhat high for the wade angler, so fish with caution if you are on foot. If you have the chance to drift, fishing should be great on attractors, including chernobyl ants, hoppers and wulffs. Some of the tributaries are still a little high, but should be fishing better soon. Don't forget the Hoback...it sounds like it's fishing well and is finally low enough to wade without too much trouble. The Green is well below 700 cfs which is great; the fish are now more concentrated in their holes, and finding big fish should be easier. The only report that I've received from the Flat Creek opener on Saturday was that the creek is still high and not quite clear. The person I talked to did not do very well; only one nice fish landed. If anyone has a report on Flat Creek, feel free to leave a comment or email me. Rachael and Charlotte return tomorrow; they have been visiting family for the past three weeks in the Northwest. I've been very busy guiding while they've been gone, but also have had the chance to fish some marathon days off. Leaving early and coming home late; ignoring chores and looking at an empty fridge each day. Brian Hodges and I left before 5 on Saturday morning for a 21 hour marathon in Central Wyoming on No Tell Creek. Dry fly fishing was outstanding. Enjoy these photos!
