Main Stem Snake River, April 30th, 2023

From the Henry’s Fork confluence downstream flow is increasing because run-off has begun in tributaries and because of the increased flow out of Palisades Dam. The USGS maintained flow graph for the river below American Falls Reservoir looks like a step function as flow is now around 6000 cfs and and will be increasing to satisfy downstream irrigation demands. So look for better fishing days on the river as we warm to where we should for the time of the year.
