Mainstem Snake River 7-31-10

As irrigation demands decrease, water levels will stabilize making for more consistent fishing here. Streamer patterns remain the bread & butter patterns, but PMD emergences continue to bring action in riffles. With hopper populations beginning to build, fishing tactics that work on the South Fork work here. See Tim Woodard’s 7/26 report for the South Fork and use the thoughts he offers for fishing the main stem river. After all; the South Fork and the main stem Snake are the same streams!
