I agree with Jacksonlaker. I fished Sat from Tilden Bridge to A.F. Res and only one bite. Friends of mine caught one small brown and a sucker the same day early in the morning. Water is still a little dirty and cool. I have been hearing that things are picking up from Pali
es down to Heise, but the Snake still has a ways to go before it gets good. I did fish below Palies 2 weeks ago on the river and me and the old lady caugth 10 cut throat, 2 were 2 lbs. Little disappointing having to throw them back now. Only good thing is we had our limit from the res. already. We were hoping for some rainbows or cutbows, but no such luck. They are just getting done with the spawn. Give the river about 2-3 more weeks and things should start improving, unless, Palies fills and then there will be more high water coming. Right now it is raising 2% a day with 25,000 cfm coming in and only 12,000 going out. That also does not include the other streams coming in from the surrounding mountains to the res. At this rate, Palies should be full around July 10, if the snow pack holds out. Hard to say if it will taper off by then and Jackson is also full now, so no more spare storage there.
Also, if any one is thinking about A.F. Res, it is dropping and warm @ 79 degrees and looks like pea soup. No luck fishing there either.
