Hi,
Went over to the Snake River the 24 through the 27 fished Oxbow mostly
caught alot off fish one 17 plus and a lot of 13 and 14 inch ones . Brownly was perty slow they had just brought it back up to within 6 to 8 feet of full pool . They were working on the gates or something it was the lowest ever. There is still a lot of snow pack so the rivers feeding it will be high for sum time yet. The best color was a green grub called guacamole. The cat fishing was perty good in Oxbow saw a lot of people fishing and catching them.

Hi,
The snow pack for the snake river water sheed is 150 percent of normal
and the Eagle Caps snow measureing stake is 25 feet long and they had to dig down about 5 feet to find it so plenty of water this year. Sorry about two post had it all in the first one but the the darned computer locked up again .

glad to hear there's plenty of water & snow pack and the smallies are bitting. We thought about hitting the Brownlee on spring break but the water level was waaaay low in preparation for the spring run off.... a good web site for pool levels on the Snake- http://www.idahopower.com/riversrec/waterlevels/reservoir.asp

We're hoping to make it down there this summer and do a little fishing and relative visiting and then, on the way home, spend a few days on the WA section of the Snake.

Got any pictures?
