The Snake is good but they're boot-ish by the time they get up there.


What's the gear method,float and a jig or swinging spoons? Because I get bored fishing spinners.


I use homemade spinners....French blade size 4.
If you like spoons, it's a good spoon river especially when it's windy.
They are good wind cutters as you know.
4500 CFS average summer flow, but not real deep. Lots of structure.
You can do float and jig in some spots.

It's about 60% Spey and 40% hardware as far as methods go.
And probably 60% wild and 40% hatch.
