Snake Below American Falls Reservoir:

 Currently sitting at 12700CFS and the reservoir is at 43% full. We are just about at summer flow and conditions are great. Water is starting to have some moss floating but the clarity is still there. Great top water and streamer fishing happening for smallmouth from dam to pipeline

South Fork Snake River :

Flows out of the dam are sitting around 12869CFS and the reservoir is at 84%. Fishing has been really good as of late. Salmon flies are almost through the system but the goldens are there as well. Lots of sallies and pmds along with some drakes. 

Henrys Fork:

Fishing is still pretty solid with plenty of bug hatching. Caddis, Goldens, and sallies are what you will see most days. The warm river stretch has was cold and had plenty of fish looking up and similar results on the lower around ashton. 

Portneuf: 

River temps are getting really warm so we urge you to fish early and end your day early. Hoppers in peach, pink, and tan with your favorite dropper has been picking up a few

Bear River below Oneida:

Flows are up to 1100 but should have some great streamer fishing on the edges. Lots of bass and rainbows being caught.

Still waters & Lakes: Damsel activity has stayed consist on most lakes but just like the Portneuf the temps are getting warm. Fish early and look for the week lines.
