This past week on the Snake river was fantastic. I saw some of the best fishing of the year so far on our river. Much larger fish were showing up in main river riffles and just about every other spot that they should be holding in. Small parachute attractors in the mornings and large ants in the afternoons have been moving nice fish. Area tributaries are also on fire, with lower river levels concentrating more fish. I have not heard yet what the Bureau of Reclamation's schedule will be on lowering the flows out of Jackson Lake Dam. With fishing so good right now, I can't wait to see what it will fish like with flows lowered in half. Liz McCabe and I popped into a sidechannel on Monday and had the chance to get very close to this Bald Eagle...a great sight! Back at it again tomorrow...heading over to Dubois to guide a trip on the Wind River. The hopper fishing over there is still holding on. I'll hopefully have a good report on the next post. If you have not been fishing much this season, now is the time to get out there and experience catching a native Snake River Cutty like this one.
