Snake River Fishing Report June 19-20

After what seemed like years of rain, wind, and spring snow the sun finally came out and said hello in the Jackson Hole valley.  Subsequently, I got on the river.  Will and I floated both the 19th and the 20th.  Although the river is running super high with a chocolate milk looking substance, we brought our fishing rods anyway.  Fishing was hectic to say the least, between afternoon, down-bursting thunderstorms and the entire forest residing always somewhere in the middle of the river, basically, we got skunked.  Wooly buggers, big, bright streamers, and the always hopeful dry fly all came to no avail.

Next week, if plans don’t change, I want to float the south fork of the Snake and see how things are there.  I imagine with all this sun the river will finally start falling and it’ll be time to slay.  Stay tuned and wish me luck!
