Over the past week, the traffic around town and on the river has really surged. Despite more anglers being on the river, the Snake is holding up very well. I've been guiding mostly in Teton Park, and the dry fly fishing has been quite good. Withing the past two days, I've been starting to see some larger fish looking up. Chernobyl Ants, Yellow Sallies and Copper John droppers have all been doing a fine job. Yesterday was a very wild day on the river with local angler Dennis Butcher. We did Moose to Wilson, and spent most of the day dodging lightning, and very heavy rain. Despite this, he picked up some nice fish, including a 19" cutthroat on a large dry fly (no photo, sorry). The Buffalo Fork came up in volume overnight, but barely affected the river clarity today. The South Fork sounds like it has still been red hot, especially in the Canyon. Most of the tributaries are now ready to go...low and clear. I'm heading back to No Tell Canyon tomorrow with Stan Czarniak for a couple of days, then on to a South Fork overnight with good client Joe Strazzeri. Hopefully, I'll have some good reports coming up! Here is Denton Rea, of Odessa Texas, with our best fish of the day today.
