Main Stem Snake River, September 29th, 2020

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.
