Season Homestretch

One of my favorite places and times... the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park during the fall, fly fishing grandeur at its best!

Once again the One Fly Event ushers in scenes from the upcoming season that we all admire in beauty yet scowl at its termination of summer... hence the name termination dust. The better side of this story is that great angling awaits for those who venture out.

This front brought some fairly hefty snows to the mountains and cold morning temps dipping into the twenties... this shock in water temp cools the morning bite that was dominating just 10 days ago, now we are seeing a fall pattern of mid-late day feeding, especially on various mayflies during the cloudy periods.
