Main Stem Snake River, October 12th, 2024
The main stem Snake, like the South Fork, will offer better top water (BWO and diminishing caddis) and streamer presentation (aggressive brown trout) because of the upcoming weather change.

Some walk-in-wade locations are quite convenient (i.e. the river in Freeman Park). Again, Fly Fish Food Jimmy’s can help you pick which locations to try at any given time.
