  • The Fishing

    The cooler / wetter weather over the weekend has helped keep all rivers around the region plugging along a little bit longer, including the North Fork Coeur d'Alene. Reports were a little mixed but as the weather stabilizes we have had better reports. It is still low water so you have to find the right areas, going way up high is not necessarily the answer since it's skinny. The warmer the weather gets plan on inner tubers to ascend back to the river. Hatches will be sparse but you can plan on seeing a few caddis, pmd's, maybe a golden stone, ants / beetles. Too early for hoppers still. Small chubbies or small chernobyls (or beetles) with a smaller dropper should work for searching when no risers are present. Prospecting with a purple haze parachute, brindle chute parachute, caddis, ant or beetle is also a good choice. Find the slots, undercuts, deeper trenches, and dropoffs into pools to be your best places.

  • The Fishing

    The St. Joe River was a little quieter over the last weekend with the mixed weather. Overall the St. Joe River is in prime summer shape and recent rains will keep it plugging along. Like any of cutthroat rivers as we enter July, hatches will get a little more sparse but you can see caddis, pmd's, golden stones, maybe a green drake, ants and beetles. Small chernobyls and chubbies with a dropper are good for prospecting. Good time of the year to be here.

  • The Fishing

    Overall good fishing this week on the Spokane River for the guide crew. With warmer temps the earlier starts have been helping as things will slow down in the afternoon. Plus like any river in the west, we do suffer from the dreaded inner-tuber hatch from about noon on. Chubby / dropper combos are the go-to all summer. Caddis are still hatching as they always do. Some of the better caddis dry fly fishing is generally right before dark or at dark. Swinging soft hackles is a fun way to fish the river too.

    June 29th - The Clark Fork near St. Regis is back on the rise after recent rain storms. Give it a few days...

    NF Clearwater / Kelly Creek - Hoodoo Pass is open! The road is rough and trailers not recommended and there is a slide in the Black Canyon that is impassable, not date yet on when it will be cleared. That being said overall the fishing has been good but colder weather and a bump in flows made it a little off this weekend, but fishing was still good nonetheless. As temps warm back up and flows drop I would anticipate the usual chubby or stonefly dries with a dropper game to be good. Caddis, pmd's, and drakes also on the menu.
