The Fishing
Fall has arrived in the Inland NW and fishing on rivers like the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene has been good. Fall hatches have been going, but there is still a little of the summer terrestrial fishing to be had as the weather transitions to cooler temps. With the low, late season water it's always best to downsize your tippet and lengthen your leader. Plan on October caddis, mahogany dun mayflies, bwo's, fall caddis, and a little hopper and ant fishing still. Find the pools with some depth and you will likely find the fish.

The Fishing
The Spokane has been a great option close to home lately. With some extra water coming from Lake CDA, fish are starting to spread out from their summer lies and settle into a variety of areas. We’ve still been finding fish in the riffles and classic summer water, but don’t overlook the glassy tailouts and deeper pools. There have been some fish sporadically rising throughout the day, my best guess is they’re finding stray Hecuba mayflies and caddis. These haven’t been the typical soft sips in glassy water, more aggressive and splashy takes. Still haven’t seen any October Caddis out, but an Orange or Normwood Chubby is getting attention on the surface. Small stonefly and caddis nymphs have been good fished as droppers or under an indicator. Some BWO’s have been around on the right days, but it’s still early for the peak of this fun, techy hatch.

The Fishing
Clark Fork River - fishing near St. Regis has been good. We were out there recently. Fish have moved into more fall, slowish water but are still looking for hoppers and low-profile chernobyls. Fall bugs like Mahogany duns, bwo's, and October caddis all are on the menu. A few hecuba mayflies still too. Patterns like purple haze parachute or brindle chute behind a low-profile foam bug worked. Droppers like a jig pheasant tail also were good at times.

The North Fork Clearwater / Kelly Creek - fishing very well. Due to the Moose Mountain Fire this late summer, the Black Canyon of the NF Clearwater will remained closed for a large stretch of it for the likely the rest of the year. Access to the upper NF Clearwater, Hidden Creek CG, Deception Saddle, Kelly Creek, lower NF Clearwater is good. October caddis and Mahogany dun mayflies have been very good. Running a rusty or orangish chubby chernobyl with a dropper nymph (spanish bullet, bh pt, large caddis nymph,etc) is a good way to prospect. Streamer fishing is very good too.
