  • 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.

    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.
