Main Stem Snake River

Right now, the mainstem is convenient for fishing because road conditions to other areas can be difficult and diminishing daylight hours are ongoing. The river anywhere offers good fishing as brown trout are migrating. Streamer and wooly bugger patterns presented on sink tip lines remain best patterns for action. Boating is the best way to cover water. Want to fish the river below American Falls Dam? It’s flowing at about 300 cfs.  That is low enough for safe wading. So fill that fly box with streamer patterns and give the river a try here.

Flies to fish: 

• Jorgensen's Claw Dawg Brown
• Brig's Rippin Rooster Olive
