Hey Salmo_G,

Just got back from 3 days on the Clearwater and Snake. Only fished 1 afternoon on the Snake - the fish were there but the temp was 61 to 62 degrees and the fish were a bit "plucky". All i got was a 14" Smallmouth for my efforts.

THe Clearwater was very low and fish are migrating in spurts. I lost one on the lower river in two days of fishing. Found out later that the middle/upper river was the place to be. It's never a good sign when there are no trollers in the "pond".

Moderate traffic on the Clearwater, there were very few people on the Snake.

FWIW, it seems that the fish are late on the east side as well. The A/B percentage is more indicative of early September than early October.

Good luck if you go - I'm hoping to give it one more go sometime in November.

Tight Lines!

Brian
