Upper Section of the South Fork of the Snake - Idaho

We fished all day using streamers through the snow and wind and had a pretty good day. Fishing was spotty as the fish are not everywhere. They are podded up in certain areas. Changing flies was very important as the fish were fickle. We ended up landing between 50 and 60 trout. Nearly half the fish were cutthroat, the rest made up mostly of browns with a few rainbows mixed in.

Fishing the upper section of the snake right now can be a challenge because the accesses are not open for vehicle traffic. You have to drag you boat up the bank to the road about 100 yards through the snow to your car. Thankfully the snow was hard and slick.
