Snake River Fishing Report - Jackson Hole

7.22.2015

Flows at Moose: 3240 CFS

Flows below Jackson: 3860 CFS

The Snake River is getting better every day and we’re starting to see some of the larger fish starting to re-appear in the main stem now that the flows on the tributaries are ramping down. Getting your fly close to the structure and seam lines are producing the best yield. Caddis and pmd hatches are still the main focus and on the warmer afternoons the terrestrial bite is most prolific. The water temps are fluctuating between the mid 50’s in the morning to the mid 60’s in the afternoons and this is why the bite is best in the afternoons. When it’s really warm and sunny and the bite slows down during the afternoon, don’t hesitate to tie on a dropper on that hopper! We’re seeing some fall stone shucks on the rocks already, which is really early. It seems as though we’re setting up for an early fall and the fishing conditions will get even better!

6.8.2015 Based on the news below concerning the flows from the Jackson Dam, we might be guiding on the Snake River in the very near future if the tribs will stop contributing off color water. Jackson Lake inflow has been below 3,500 cfs since last Thursday, the Lake is down 10,000 acre feet (0.4 vertical feet) from its maximum on June 1, and it is time to reduce the discharge. We will reduce the discharge from 4,500 cfs in two steps at […]
