  • The Fishing

    The heatwave has slowed the fishing down on the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River the past few days. Combine that with very low water, warm water temps, and busy angling traffic can make for tough fishing. The smaller fish don't seem to mind, but the bigger cutts will be harder to come by. Now all that being said... the weather is shifting starting Friday and the temps and rain could change that considerably. I (Sean V.) was up here Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. I found fish, but it was nothing crazy. Hatches were light because of the heat. Smaller patterns and finer tippet seemed to help with the skinny water as you would expect. Is it worth fishing? Yes of course, especially with the shift in weather coming, however, I wouldn't anticipate crazy good fishing like we have in Apil, May, or early June.

  • The Fishing

    Hitting repeat on the the St. Joe River this week... it's pretty much in prime shape as we roll through June. River levels are below average for this time of the year so the words "too high" are not very accurate, fishing has been good here pretty much since March. Hatches can vary with temps and weather patterns but bugs on the menu include: pmd's, caddis, yellow sallies, drakes, and golden stones. Depending on where you're at on the system will dictate what you see too. The lower stretches of the river I'd mix in ants and beetles too. A bit early for good hopper fishing.

  • The Fishing

    The guide crew and customer friends reported great fishing on the Spokane River this past week. Aside from some wind early in the week it was the usual prime-time fishing. Chubby chernobyls and droppers are the go-to method. Nymphing of course always works anytime of the year. Dropper or nymph rigs can or should consist of rubber leg stones, caddis pupa, jig princes, etc. Caddis hatches during the afternoon and evening can have some potential for caddis dry fly fishing later in the evening as the sun settles. Don't overlook soft hackle fishing either!

  • The Fishing

    Hoodoo Pass is open, the road is rough and there is still a slide in the Black Canyon. However, the fishing is excellent! Low pressure so far means eager cutthroat! Typical summertime cutthroat patterns like chubbies, chubbies with droppers (perdigons, pts, caddis pupa), pmd's, caddis, ants / beetles are all on the menu. Time to go!

    The Clark Fork near St. Regis has been good! Chubbies, pmd's, caddis, chernobyls, pheasant droppers, perdigon and caddis pupa droppers.
