The Snake Is On

I've just wrapped up a very consistent week of guiding on the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park. Despite the fact that the river is still running a bit high (4,600 cfs at Moose), the dry fly fishing has been very good. Reports from below Wilson have also been solid. If you do venture below Moose, the river is moving quite fast...make sure to walk the many new sidechannels. I've found Cutthroat from 8" up to 18" eating the usual suspects: Chernobyl Ants, Hoppers and large mayfly attractors. I had another lucky day on the Green River yesterday. Clouds in the morning produced some fantastic fishing for larger Brown Trout. If you can order up some dark skies, drop a Copper John under a large ant and hold on tight.
The South Fork continues to nymph very well, but where are the dries? Hopefully it will pop soon over there. Here's a couple of photos from the week. Lisa Smith with a great Snake River Cutty, as well as my good buddy and One Fly teammate Peter Chung with a typical Green River Brown Trout.
