No Hits, No Bugs, No Fish @ Snake River 08Sep15

Posted conditions were good (3/4) on Snake River in Keystone and Gore Ck. With the Blue below Green Mtn flowing at 800cfs I stayed small and I hit the Snake since I'd never been. This is a supposed recovering mining issue from Montezuma and stocked with big 'bows by Keystone and supporting it's own brood of brookies. Near as I can tell, all of this is marketing. I fished 2.5 miles of the Snake River (supposedly it's prime) and got no hits, saw no bugs and caught no fish. Too bad as the location is super nice in Kosbab's back yard. I don't know what the conditions report was about - I scared up only two 6" brookies in shallow water and saw two other dead 12" rainbows - that was the extent of signs of life. The river is milky green in color with banks bronze from some minerals, and little vegetation on the bottom. It's a pretty setting at times, though among the condos, but not pretty enough for no fish - I won't be back.
