Main Stem Snake River 11-5-10

Flows have dropped to normal levels, meaning that as with the South Fork much of the river is in great shape for walk-in wading.  It is time to use streamer patterns, and with a change in the weather coming big browns will be on the move.  Best times will be evenings and early AMs.  But with cloudy and stormy conditions predicted for much of next week, any time will provide a chance for that big guy to respond. Remember that a streamer featuring yellow or chartreuse will seem particularly effective and that sink tip lines and stout leaders will be the best tackle to use.
