Reel Women Fishing ReportFishing reports from the Teton Valley, Idaho & Jackson Hole, Wyoming areaFriday, December 05, 2008
Dec 05, 2008 Winter Fishing is upon us. With colder & shorter days the South Fork of Snake water temperature has dropped to about 40 degrees. The Bureau of Reclamation has lowered the dam release to 900 c.f.s. So that means an angler can wade many areas of the river that is impossible in higher flows. There has been a midge hatches almost everyday. A few trout and a ton of white fish are still feeding on surface midges. Try a Griffith Gnat, with a short trailer, a midge nymph. The cutthroat have moved into deeper waters. Try nymphing deep with two beadhead nymphs will produce fish. The Browns have just finished spawning, but many fish are still keying in on egg patterns. And don't forget to streamer fish, it will keep you a tad warmer. Remember to dress in lots of layers, it can get cold after a couple of hours of wading. Bring something warm to drink and enjoy wading where you can't in the summer.. It is never too cold to ski in the mornings & fish the afternoon.
