Spokane River, Washington

The Fishing
Not much new from the Spokane lately. We’ve heard a few reports from folks fishing both the upper and the lower river, sounds like fishing has been similar regardless of the stretch you’re on. If you can find a couple hours to sneak out mid-day, this will be the best local option to find a few trout. Stick with the standard winter tactics; dredging double nymph rigs, streamers fished slow and deep. Flows are well below average for this time of year, so wade access is ideal. Looks like we have another week of pretty frigid weather before potentially creeping back above that freezing mark for the daily highs.

The Fishing
I wouldn’t expect much from here any time soon. Flows are very low and cold water temps will keep fish activity to a minimum. You’ll probably be fighting shelf ice and sketchy access if you’re trying to make a trek this way.

Going to be cold and icy here for a bit on the St. Joe River. Look for better fishing potential in February when we get some warmer temps again.

Miscellaneous
The Fishing
Rocky Ford is always worth a trip this time of year. You'll likely encounter plenty of other anglers here with limited trout fishing opportunities around the region. Scuds, midges, small baetis, and streamers will all be on the menu. It’s pretty much Groundhog Day out here, but don’t be afraid to mix things up and try some oddball patterns for the pond donkeys.
Steelhead Rivers
The Fishing
No new reports from the steelhead world. The Grande Ronde is currently ice free as of 2/7 and flowing nicely up around Boggans. Wouldn’t be too surprising to see this start freezing again with continued cold weather in the forecast. We’re closing in on the end of our preferred time to target these Summer run fish, so reports will be minimal going forward.
