Main Stem Snake River, October 29th, 2022

Flow throughout is less than normal in order to begin filling reservoirs. Below American Falls Dam flow is at a paltry 300 cfs. That will concentrate fish into deeper water and bring in lots of anglers. Brown trout are migrating to spawning areas, and there are plenty of walk-in-wade locations to encounter them away from spawning areas. Boating is also a good option because good water depth remains in the river. Fishing from a boat also minimizes interrupting the surface of spawning areas.
