A short and simple article, Spring is a great time to fish for big trout on the Snake River. While areas are limited, especially below the Falls, above the Falls offers opportunity. In addition to streamers, crayfish and dace, the river is flooded with Alewives from Merritt Reservoir that enter the system at ice-out and thereafter. I have had success dead drifting Alewive-like streamers during this time.
