The weather today here around Jackson was a little too perfect. Crystal clear skies, warm temperatures and zero wind. Great for photography, but lousy for fishing. I've had a pretty good run of solid fishing on the Snake this past week, but that came to an end today. I was part of a three boat trip today with six anglers, and we all struggled. The weather the previous few days saw more clouds and wind, which I believe kept the fish looking up. The conditions on the river today felt very "stale". There were not many fish around, and the few smaller fish we saw were very nervous to move on our flies. There was a lot of "window shopping"...fish coming up to look, and going right back down, lockjawed. Hopefully, this will not last long...particularly since the One Fly is fast approaching. Lets hope for some more varied weather soon, and some bugs along with it. Here's a great shot of my daughter Charlotte on the oars with me yesterday on the Snake; also, ex-Jack Dennis employee, and all-around good guy Ryan Griffin, of Charleston, SC, with a nice redfish on the fly. Nice fish Ike!
