The South Snake River is well above 20,000 csf with the water being muddy and difficult to fish. Some salmon flies and PMD's can be fished along the bank but most of the trout being caught are on weighted nymphs along seams and tailouts.

What has changed on the Snake is the river flow and not the fishing. The river is currently flowing at around 10,000 cfs and climbing weekly if not daily. The fishing has been about the same as reported before with the exception of a few more Baetis on the water and it's a little warmer.

The flows from Palisades Dam are around 3500 csf. It's still cold up there and you will find some snow around but the fishing has been pretty good for the hearty few who fish this river on a regular basis. Midge fishing and a scattering of Blue Winged Olives are what the fish are rising to if you are lucky enough to find a pod of rising fish. Most successful anglers are using nymph rigs with either a double bead head or a weighted rubber leg with a bead head dropper. Fish the bottom hard!

With the river flowing just under 9000 cfs this river has been fishing extremely well. PMD's, caddis and hoppers should all be in your fly box along with their emerger patterns if you are going to the Snake. Even though the PMD's have slowed down some, trout are still rising to the fly and you should still see trout in some sections dinning on them. The evening is a special time on the Snake. The caddis are coming off on a consistent bases and you should do quite well depending on what section of the river you are on. The key to this hatch is have a good caddis emerger to drop behind you Elk Hair Caddis when you start.
