THE WINTER FISHING ON THE SNAKE RIVER HAS BEEN AS GOOD AS IT CAN POSSIBLY GET THIS FALL. WE’VE HAD MILDER THAN NORMAL TEMPS AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE, WHICH EQUALS FANTASTIC MIDGE HATCHES. THE TROUT HAVE BEEN EATING DRIES AND NYMPHS CONSISTENTLY ANYWHERE FROM 11AM TO 4PM, GIVE OR TAKE, DEPENDING ON THE DAILY TEMPS. YOU’LL FIND MOST OF THE FISH CONCENTRATED IN THE POOLS BELOW THE RIFFLES.
THE DRY FLY OF CHOICE IS BOBB’S 5 SECOND BLACK MIDGE # 20 ON A 5X 7.5FT LEADER. THE NYMPHING HAS BEEN BEST ON A DOUBLE RIG CONSISTING OF A FLASH BACK PHEASANT TAIL #14 AS THE POINT FLY AND 12-16″ BELOW THE POINT FLY A #18 BLACK ZEBRA MIDGE. THE DEPTH OF YOUR NYMPH WILL DIFFER ON EACH INDIVIDUAL RUN YOU’RE FISHING, BUT, GENERALLY 6-8FT WILL GIT ‘ER DONE.
HOW CAN YOU BEAT A GREAT MORNING OF POWDER RUNS AND AN AFTERNOON OF WINTER FLY FISHING?
