• NF CDA - North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

  • Hatches

    Caddis
    Golden stones
    PMD's
    Yellow sallies
    Ants / Beetles





  • The Fishing

    The North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene is / has entered its usual summertime fishing.... skinny water, kinda slow-ish fishing, innertubers, sparse hatches, smaller fish. Is it worth fishing? Well that depends on your definition of what you are looking for. If you are looking for big cutthroat, lots of them, and great hatches... well you missed that window awhile ago. As water temps heat up again it will be a morning game, by later morning or noon-ish you will get to experience the wonderful prolific tuber hatch this river is know for. Wanna go high up in the drainage and fish tributaries? Good luck, it's skinny and not much fish, I was there last week and there wasn't much going on that was noteworthy. Smaller flies like caddis, smaller emergers, ants, and beetles will be best. Dropper rigs under a beetle, small chernobyl or even a small hopper are a good idea.

  • St. Joe River, Idaho

  • Hatches

    Golden stones
    Yellow Sallies
    Drakes
    Caddis
    PMDs

  • The Fishing

    Overall the St. Joe River is in prime summer shape last weekends rain and cooler temps really helped the regional fishing. 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.

  • Spokane River, Washington

  • Hatches

    Caddis

  • The Fishing

    The Spokane River saw some nice bumps in the flow recently from rain, the river is dropping back down. The bumps weren't major and the fishing was good this week with cooler weather. Caddis hatches are getting sparse, but you can always fish a caddis pupa, or soft hackle, on this fishery all summer long. Kenyon and Jesse said the fishing has been good and the usual dry / dropper game of a chubby and a (insert: jig twenty inch stone, caddis pupa, jig prince, attractor nymph, rubber leg stone, etc) is a good choice. As air temps heat back up look for the inner-tuber hatch to intensify mid day into early evening. Warmer days focus your fishing on the morning or very late evenings.

    NF Clearwater / Kelly Creek - The landslide and all roads are clear! I (Sean V.) just drove everything from Superior over Hoodoo Pass, over Deception Saddle, down Kelly Creek, and up the ENTIRE Black Canyon yesterday (July 1st). They had literally just finished the clearing the slide I believe before we drover through in the early evening. There are some downed trees cut along the sides of the road and a few fallen boulders here and there, but overall some of the nicer road conditions of the 22+ years I've been going here. Trailers are fine, saw plenty of them down there and traveling around. There are people already down here camping and fishing so don't expect to be alone, but rightfully so, it is an incredible place. The fishing is good by-the-way... :)

    Clark Fork St. Regis - pretty brown right now! Hopefully soon
