Warm High Pressure System Equals Lower Water Content in Snake Drainage

The Western Wyoming and Eastern Idaho area is experiencing a strong high pressure system that is leaving us high and dry Total snow fall is at 63% of the 30 year average and the snow water equivalent is at 57%. Droughts are not good in this part of the West, but if this trend continues, we might see some incredible early season fishing on the Snake, South Fork, and Green this year. That means good stuff in May, June, and early July. Luckily, the Reservoir system on the Snake Jackson Lake and Palisades Reservoir ar each at 74% capacity and should fill to near capacity with the spring runoff. Nonetheless, pray for more snow. If we don't get it, we should still have a terrific early season.
