The runoff has officially started on the Snake River and here’s how we’re looking for the Snake and Green River Wyoming Runoff Projections, as of today. The snowpack in the Upper Snake River Basin is 76% of the average and the Green River Basin is at 80%. (See chart below).

The chart below shows the runoff prediction for the Green River flows at the Warren Bridge area. Based on this report, we are planning to start guiding there around Memorial day on the Upper reaches and mid June in the middle and lower reaches. We may have a few days of salmon fly action if the water clears from now until then, hopefully.
