Fishing Reports, Main Stem Snake River

Dropping flows mean more walk-in locations anywhere on the river.   From below American Falls Dam to the South Fork-Henry’s Fork confluence, there are many of these, and we can help with which ones might be best with respect to access and fish activity.   With respect to boat fishing there are several launch locations and also several diversions. We can help with information on each of these.  If you are thinking of a trip here and want  information, call (208-524-7160) or email us ([email protected]). Streamer fishing is the name of the game everywhere on the main stem this time of the year.

Whether you walk-in or fish from a boat this is the time of year to encounter brown trout on the river anywhere above American Falls Reservoir.  Streamer fishing is the name of the game and there are many locations along the river to do so.  Below the reservoir the river is discolored and lower than normal for the time of year.  The reservoir has been dropped for work on the spillway ( now completed), but the fishing is good.  Fish streamers deep.

With flow reduced to normal seasonal amounts, now is the time to walk-in or boat fish the river almost anywhere from Menan to American Falls Reservoir.  It  offers a less crowded alternate to the South Fork and lower Henry’s Fork. Brown trout are starting to migrate to spawning areas, so under low light conditions streamer fishing will be the best way to encounter them. Midge and BWO hatches will provide top water fishing in some locations.  Remember that the river is big and powerful, so wade carefully and do the same if boat fishing ( know where diversions are) is your way to fish.

Flow is a bit below seasonal normal throughout the river, and brown trout are chasing streamers from Menan to American Falls Reservoir.  Evenings and early mornings are best time to encounter these browns. The river below American Falls Dam is flowing a measly 400 cfs. That concentrates fish, and presenting streamers can be productive. Beware of weekend crowds.

Flow throughout the river is at seasonal normal or slightly lower. There are numerous walk-in wade locations  from Menan downstream to American Falls reservoir. The same applies to float fishing.  We can help pinpoint the best locations for either way of fishing.  The river below American Falls Dam is at it seasonal low, around 450 cfs, and offers the same ways of fishing. Shorelines there get particularly crowded  during weekends. Up and down the river streamer fishing is the “name of the game.”

Flows are dropping making either walk-in wade or fishing through boating practical.  Migrating browns are the big attraction and respond to well placed streamer patterns whether presented through boating or wading. Consider that there are more brown trout in the main stem from American Falls Reservoir upstream than in the South Fork and the lower Henry’s Fork.

With less irrigation water in demand meaning reduced flow in the Snake River, it is time to have streamer patterns ready for migrating browns as well as big resident rainbows.  Drift boating is the best way to encounter these, but there are walk-in wade locations along the river. Get in touch because we can pinpoint these for you.
