Snake River Flows
Share
The Snake in Wyoming is the float. Below Jackson Lake it runs cold and clear, and the number decides whether you are in a boat or watching from the bank.
A normal day on the Snake below Jackson Lake is often 1,000 to 3,000 cfs. Under 800 it gets technical and the boat scrapes. Over 4,000 it is big water and the eddies get mean. The flow follows the dam, not the weather, so a dry week can still fish if the release holds.
The water stays cold all season because it comes off the bottom of the lake. Temp is rarely the limit. The release is.
