NF CDA - North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
Hatches
Caddis
Terrestrials
The Fishing
Same deal this week! Tuber hatch is in full swing on the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River, so either go early and be done early, go further up river, or just deal with tubers! Terrestrials are picking up fish (small hoppers/ants/beetles), caddis, and few pmd's. Definitely focus on riffle water and heads of pools where the riffles dump in. While the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene is still worth fishing, late July/August is generally the tougher time of the year as temps heat up.

Terrestrials
The Fishing
August fishing on the St. Joe is pretty typical... mornings are best, afternoons a bit slower, some evening action. Terrestrial / attractor time now with hoppers, ants, beetles, purple haze, humpies, small stimies, etc. Still some action on goldens, pmd's, and of course caddis. Focusing on riffles and boulder strewn runs will be top areas to find fish. Tubers from Avery and downstream!

Spokane River, Washington
Hatches
Caddis
The Fishing
Same deal this week on the Spokane River. Go early or late. The Spokane River temps are fine in the heat thanks to our aquifer. Fishing chernobyls with droppers is a great way to prospect as the river levels get lower. Focus on the riffles. Caddis pupa, jig patterns, swinging soft hackles... all working!
