Snake River Report - South Fork

      Well, cabin fever is catching up to some folks and more and more people have been migrating over to fish the South Fork and the Henry’s Fork. The nymphing below Palisades’s reservoir has been productive and on certain days the midge fishing on both rivers has been producing some quality fishing.  The good news is that even though are snow pack for this winter is below normal, the regional lakes and reservoirs  still have plenty of water from previous seasons. So if you legs are sore from skiing and you would like to take day off from the mountain, there are some options to get a line wet.  If you have any questions please contact us here at the shop(307-733-6483, info@westbank.com).... more...

Well, if you don’t mind bundle up in warm clothes the South fork can be a great winter fishery and also has some good winter access. Like the Snake I would take a few midge patterns for warm days when fish might be up feeding but the nymphing is a great technique in the winter on the South Fork. A white Ray Charles pattern is very effective fly for that time of year. The Spring Creek bridge as well as the base of the dam are two good access points during the winter months. If you are coming out to Jackson and don’t want to bring all of your fishing gear we have all of the gear you need here at the shop. We are open Monday-Friday this entire winter. If you have any fishing questions at all please contact us here at the shop (307-733-6483) or stop by on your way out to the mountain. Good fishin Matt Elliott more...
