Snake River Decent fishing is being had in ledge rock pools and eddies with double/triple nymph rigs and this is almost exclusively.  Riffle pools and seams are offering very limited action at the moment.  Despite warmer than usual water temps fish in eddies and ledgerock pools have been holding deep so think about going anywhere from seven to ove...
