Salmonflies?

It's the end of June, and everyone I've been talking to is getting anxious. We're all ready to fish dry flies. Granted, there's been some very good dry fly fishing lately on Lewis Lake and the Firehole River. Now we're ready to throw some big dries from the driftboat. The South Fork of the Snake has been holding steady at about 16,000 cfs for the past week; no sign yet of the big bugs, but it should be any day. For now, it's still nymphing well. The temperatures around here have been very hot for a few days now, so this should help that tailwater to finally heat up. A little warmer water should get the Salmonflies moving. The Snake and Green Rivers are both still running high and dirty (6,800 cfs and 2,000 cfs respectively). It's going to be at least a week on the Green, and probably two weeks on the Snake before we see better dry fly conditions. I did guide yesterday from Jackson Lake Dam to Pacific Creek on the Snake (above the dirtiest water), and had decent fishing. The water is still a little high, with a green tint. Although the Yellow Sally hatch was thick, there were only a few fish around looking up. I'm headed back up there on Friday, so hopefully I'll have a better report. For those readers that don't know...Jack Dennis' guide service (Jack Dennis Fishing Trips), is no longer operating out of the Jack Dennis Sports store on the town square in Jackson. We've moved around the corner to 70 South King Street (across from the Sweetwater Restaurant). We are receiving inventory as we speak, and should be open for business soon! I'll have more details soon...
