  • 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

    The St. Joe is in prime summertime shape. Fishing has been good as it usually is this time of the year. The heat lately has slowed fishing down in the afternoons a bit, but the upcoming change in weather will be beneficial to all fisheries around the area. Hatches are sparse to light but you can potentially see some caddis, drakes, pmd's, yellow sallies, or golden stones. Downsizing some fly sizes this time of the year and onward can be a good call as fish will become more selective with pressure and lower water. Great time to fish, enjoy!

  • 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.

  • Miscellaneous

  • 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.
