| The Fishing: | The lower section of the river has been fairly off color from Hangman dumping in some silt from the rain and warmer weather. Fishing above the creek or on the eastside has been a better option with a more clarity. Nymphing with pat's rubber legs, purple princes, red copper johns, black copper johns, san juans should keep you in the game. Black buggers and Marabou Lead Eye leeches in black are also a good idea. |

| The Fishing: | Ground hog day here...Not much new this week on Rocky Ford but it is still the best game for trout right now. The Ford has been busy as usual for this time of the year but being on of the only games around that's to be expected. The usual small fly game is definitely always a potential for picking off fish but if you don't feel up to micro flies and tippet tie on a big nasty olive streamer and give it hell. You may need to move around to find the players but trust us we won't steer you wrong. |

| Water Cond: | 335 at Enaville |
| The Fishing: | Anglers have still been finding a few cutts on the lower North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene on the warmer days. Most fish have been caught using a double nymph rig like a pat's with a midge pupa like a bh uv midge, tailwater tiny, or zebra midge. Look for the fish to be holding in the deep tanky water. Sunny days will be best. |

| Hatches: | n/a |
| Flies: | Nymphing... Egg patterns, stonefly patterns, prince nymphs Swinging... sink tips and your favorite leech. For us... reverse marabou and tube patterns. |
| Water Cond: | Grande Ronde - 1460cfs - Dropping 2 1/2' visibiblity Snake - 26900cfs - 37 degrees Clearwater - 3960cfs - 37-38 degrees |
| The Fishing: | Grande Ronde is a good option right now. The river was high and off color for good fly fishing but it has been on a good drop for a number of days now. The river currently has 2 1/2 feet of visibility and should continue to get better. Fishing has been good the last couple days. A few reports weren't as good but overall pretty good... it's full of fish so its just a matter of hitting it in the right water conditions. We will see how far it drops before it goes back up... it's predicted to go back up but the Prediction Services Webpage has lied to me before...as it did last week! Nymphing with pink or orange egg patterns is the best option. The Snake has been running a little on the higher side of what we prefer to be a good level but beggars can't be choosers this time of the year if you are looking to get out. Some fish have been caught here swinging. The Clearwater is in good shape right now as well but typical Clearwater she is not giving it up easily. We have had a few hookups over the past couple weeks but really not a hell of a lot in general. Right now most fish are in the deeper tank sections... jig guys have been doing good there this week on brighter orange and fuschia jig colors. METHOW, WENATCHEE, AND ENTIAT RIVERS ARE CLOSED AS OF JANUARY 2ND, 2012!!!!! |
