Early in the week the Lorenzo to Menan section of the South Fork fished well, but presented a challenge. There was a minimal insect presence throuout the day, but Golden Stones were seen sparsely with a nice PMD hatch coming off towards the evening. Even so, the fish were keen to eat a big bug,...

The latest South Fork of the Snake River fishing report was yesterday from Wolf to Heise & it was great news! There were lots of fish between 14 and 19 inches. We had big brown trout coming up and sipping dry flies as well. You could focus on: Pink Alberts, PMD’s, terrestrials were ok but the...

The South Fork of the Snake River has been hanging in there, but it’s a little bit tougher than previous years. The river has been holding at around 9000cfs for the past week. The average at this time of year is around 7700cfs. Water clarity is excellent, and the flow forecasts are expected to stay...

South Fork
The flows on the South Fork of the Snake are down and should continue to drop towards winter flows. Fishing has been good! Try BWO’s and Mahogany’s in the riffles and dry/dropper rigs off the banks. Streamer fishing has been productive as well so don’t forget to pack the heat!
South Fork
Compared to mid July, the Lorenzo to Menan stretch of the South Fork of the Snake River fished quite a bit slower. That did not detract from the size of fish that were boated. It's more of a quality, not quantity game. Hoppers were on the menu most of the day. Once they started losing their...
South Fork
The South Fork has also been fishing well. Things are slowing down a little on the riffles, but they’re still fishing well early in the day with pinks and PMDs. Hoppers fished tight to the bank (and any mid current structure for that matter) have been fishing really well. Good patterns are gray...

South Fork of the Snake River We’ve been having quite a bit of success on the entire river from the Dam down to Menan. We’ve been seeing PMD’s, Caddis, Golden Stones, Pink Alberts, Hoppers, Ants, and Beetles. Pretty much everything in your fly box. ...

Lorenzo to Menan fished well last week on golden stone patterns with a custom green colored bead head nymph trailer. The crowds were mainly upstream making this section feel like private water.
