Warm Start To November

The first week of November here in Western Wyoming has been unseasonably warm. It's been mostly sunny, with our high temps nearing 60 degrees. I've been busy watching Charlotte, and getting back to work at the ski shop in Teton Village, so have been unable to take advantage of any fishing in the nice weather. I've received a handful of good reports from the Snake over the past few days through this warm weather. It sounds like fish are surface feeding on midges in the middle of the day. This time of year, I think the best fishing is on either end of the river; fish the first few miles below Jackson Lake Dam, or on the South end closer to Alpine in the Snake River Canyon. Cutthroat should be "podded" up in their winter holes. The river is at about 1,000 cfs at Moose...a great wading level. It looks like the weather pattern should hold a little longer, so if you can sneak out, it sounds like fishing will be good. The South Fork is holding at 1,830 cfs near Irwin, and should be fishing just as well right now. As I transition into winter mode, I'll be updating the blog a little less frequently, and may recycle some of my favorite photos from the past season. I'd love to hear from some of you with any fishing reports via the blog or email. Don't forget to check out the latest issue of This Is Fly...it's great! http://www.thisisfly.com/ Here's a nice shot of us pulling out the skiff under some beautiful Montana alpenglow. Stay tuned!
