Main Stem Snake River 9/22
Streamer fishing and float fishing are the way to go here. Some action can be had by presenting hopper and chernobyl patterns close to banks. With careful wading you can also enjoy the BWO emergence.

Even though flows remain somewhat high, streamer fishing is picking up all along the river. When flows drop some more. streamer fishing will be terrific.
Main Stem Snake River 9/8
With flows considerably higher than normal fishing is a bit tough unless you are float fishing the river. Bank fishing offers limited success from Gem Lake downstream for those using streamers. When the flow out of Palisades drops, look for fishing success to pick up.
Main Stem Snake River 9/5
Even with high flows action is picking up along the river between Idaho Falls and Blackfoot. Fishing from a boat and using streamer patterns are making for the best results.
Main Stem Snake Rive 9/2
Flows are still considerably higher than usual for this time of season. This makes for tough wading, but float fishing has been somewhat productive for those using streamers and terrestrial patterns tight to banks.
Main Stem Snake River 8/29
Flow has decreased because of less water out of Palisades Dam, but fishing with streamers tight to undercut banks should hold up through the weekend.
Main Stem Snake River 8/26
Flows are almost double traditional amounts for this time of year, but look for them to drop as flow out of Palisades Dam ramps down. Meanwhile terrestrial and streamer patterns close to banks will bring action.
Main Stem Snake River 8/22
No significant change in flows here. Best fishing remains below Blackfoot where streamers and hopper are best patterns. In a few weeks look for snowflake dun emergence on the river just above American Falls Reservoir.
Main Stem Snake River 8/18
River is running considerably higher than normal below Henry’s Fork confluence. This makes for a bit of a slowdown in fishing. Nevertheless we have had some reports of good fishing (hoppers & streamers close to the banks) the river just above American Falls Reservoir.
Main Stem Snake River 8/14
It’s a great time to float the river above American Falls Reservoir. The trip from Tilden Bridge to the McTucker access can be very good. Besides streamer patterns, bring hoppers and present them tight to grassy banks near good covering water.
