It rained all night so I imagined the Snake would be off a bit; it's flowing at 3,000cfs already - I chose to hit the Gros Ventre below Slide Lk today. The Gros Ventre is a pretty big river strewn with boulders appropriate for cutthroat to hide - but these facts also made it too hard to cross. At 550cfs, up a smidge today, the rain made even it off color and running pretty high. I caught a ton of 5”-8” cutthroat like the one shown but nothing substantial. I used all techniques but the floating caddis and chernobyl worked best. Slide Lake was formed on the Gros Ventre when the largest known non-seismic rock slide blew down the hill and crossed the stream and valley.
The Tetons are just magnificent.
