fished the confluence of the snake and clearwater from about 9 am to 3 pm. not a bite. counted 40 boats around us for the first part of the day. saw 1 keeper kept, 1 native released and 1 small fish caught. there were a few trollers, but the majority of everyone was using a bobber. a big wind blew us all of the river for a little while. i ran up the snake around hells gate park and tried it there for a while. we went back out to the confluence for another couple hours. it was amazing how bad the fishing was. our bait was a purple dyed sand shrimp. thank god they will last in the fridge for a while, we didn't use very many.
