The Fishing
Fishing has been decent this past week on the Spokane River. This warm weekend will keep patterns like October caddis and even chubby chernobyls fishing a tiny big longer, thought the smaller dries like bwo's have been better if you are looking for a dry eat. Usual nymphs like rubber legs, caddis pupa, jig prince, twenty inchers will get 'em, this time of the year and beyond hot bead or hot spot patterns like blow torches, etc will start to produce more. Hatchery salmon that have been released in the river have been spawning and trout have been eating egg patterns as well.

Caddis
The Fishing
The North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene is a good option lately. Finding areas with depth is key this time of the year as levels are low and cutthroat have dropped out of the upper stretches in preparation for winter. Small dries like bwo's, midges, purple haze, etc will be your best shot as risers. An October caddis or mahogany possibly. Hang a dropper under your October caddis for best results. Droppers and nymph rigs like spanish bullets, perdigons, small bead head pt's, soft hackles, etc all good choices.

MidgesThe Fishing
The St. Joe River is still fishing and should for a little bit longer. Small dries like bwo's and midges have been most important for surface activity. You could run droppers under a norm woods or October caddis dry and pick up fish but more than like on the dropper. Droppers and nymph rigs like perdigons, spanish bullets, jig pheasant tails and such will pick up the bulk of fish. Streamer fishing can be great this time of the year!
