The notorious Salmonflies have been making their way up the South Fork of the Snake River, and the fish are looking up. Anglers are having just as much or better success nymphing Pat’s rubber legs and heavy bead-headed flies, but you can’t exaggerate the thrill of a big top water hit. The big bugs are…
We have officially crossed over into Summer, so let the 2018 fishing season begin! We have had an eventful Spring in the Jackson Hole area with a river runoff period that occurred earlier and quicker than in years past. The month of May was uncharacteristically warm and sunny with very little rain, which sped up…
June 2nd Update: South Fork of the Snake River: Flows on the South Fork were bumped up to 14,000 cfs, the water is starting to look better in terms of clarity, but expect the fishing to be off for a few days as the fish adjust to the new flows. We expect the South Fork…
As July rolls around fishing throughout the area has been steadily improving with flows dropping on most surrounding rivers. The Snake in Jackson has good visibility and is getting clearer every day. Fishing is picking up with large numbers of smaller fish hitting big foam and droppers throughout the day. Trying small dries could be…
Memorial Day weekend turned out to be a good one. Plenty of nice weather, and a lot of good fishing for Yellowstone’s opening weekend. Some of our guides headed up to Yellowstone to fish the lakes, and the Firehole River opening day. We had great reports from both water systems. The Firehole was a…
Run off looks like its officially here. Spring finally came, and brought muddy water with it. I went and looked at the river at about 10am this morning, and again at 1:30. It is significantly higher and dirtier in just a matter of hours. It is safe to say it will only get worse from…
4/20/16 Happy Hump day! I hope people are getting ready for some warm April weather this week. We have predicted temperatures climbing into the mid 60s on Friday. Fishing on the Snake could be good now that our recent colder weather has cleared up the water on Snake for the time being. This weekend looks…
The good news is the warm weather last weekend gave us some great fishing on the Snake. The bad news is it was so warm, and accompanied by rain that it turned the water off color. We are unsure if run off is on its way, or if the cold temps by the end of…
April 5, 2016 It must be spring! Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is closed, and that means the Bakers dozen has started. It is going to feel like spring out there this week with Warm temps in the forecast, and a nice break from wet weather Thursday and Friday. Fishing was pretty decent this weekend, the…
April is right around the corner, and it looks like we will have some spring like temps this weekend. Fishing has been good on the warmer days, and will only get better from now until run off starts. Lots of midges out there, and I have even heard rumors or Skwalas on the water. Although…
