The Fishing

Not much new these days as there are a lot less folks fishing. Jesse was the last of the crew to be out on the water. He had some success with trout spey, though some days the catching is getting slower. There are still a few blue wings and midges out with a small window for some mid-day risers. Find the slower currents, fish your streamers or indicators rigs down. Nymph patterns with hot spots or hot beads are productive this time of the year. Squirmies, san juans, and rubber leg stones are always on the menu during late fall and winter. It's still worth getting out if the weather cooperates for you but it is getting to be late fall so adjust your expectations accordingly.

The Fishing

Fishing on the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River means finding slower and deeper holes to fish and adjusting your expectations. Scratching out one or two fish, maybe a few is about all you can hope for this time of the year. Nymphing with hot bead or hot spot patterns, midge pupa, rubber leg stones, and san juan or squirmy patterns are all go-to's. Streamer fishing can be good especially if flows bump from rain. Is it still worth fishing here? Well that's a matter of your perspective and what you want out of the fishing day, if solitude is what you are looking for then you should have a great outing!

The Fishing

Gunna be chilly here on the St. Joe River. With the change in the forecast and not many people fishing as of late I'd say we are wrapping up the St. Joe River reports until some point in February when we are coming out of winter. Fishing was pretty dang good on the Joe this year, hopefully you were able to enjoy some time over there!

Miscellaneous

The Fishing

Not much to report as of late! Angling pressure gets a lot lower this time of the year. Probably could have some okay mid day fishing on the Clark Fork near St. Regis if you are wanting to get out of town. Rocky Ford is always an option too all fall / winter.

Steelhead Rivers

The Fishing

The lower Grande Ronde and Snake River near the Grande Ronde have been good. While the swinging on the GR has been getting slower, the Snake River is typically a good / better swing location with warmer water. Indicator fishing on the Ronde has been the better tactic with colder water. Levels could go up this weekend, but will probably settle soon with cooler weather coming.
