Mainstem Snake River 9-17-13

The bad news here is that silt coming out of American Falls Dam is smothering fish big time in the river below.  There looks like no end to this as the reservoir is a 4% of useable capacity and dropping.  So do not expect the great fall fishing experienced last year.  This means concentrate your efforts on the river above the reservoir where streamer fishing is about to kick in as flow there drops.
