Winter Reports

The Coeur d'Alene: (See Map)

Dropping nicely after the last push of water. A great way to spend the afternoon especially with the nice/warmer temps in the forecast. Double nymph rigs and/or streamers moved slowly will be the most productive method with sporadic dry fly fishing depending on the day...

The St. Joe - (See Map):
Awfully cold up in the canyon as of now. Long drive for not a whole lot of options at the moment.

Clark Fork (Click for more info.)

Heading into winter....

Eastern Washington:

Rufus Woods and Rocky Ford spring creek are a great place for a trout fix for this time of year. Small flies or big streamers!

STEELHEAD:

As the Ronde does its usual mid january fluctuation look for the clearwater and snake to be more consistent. The clearwater up by Orofino has been producing well lately and should just get better as the fish move farther up the system. Swinging flies on the lower/mid river is also a good option to get fish that might be newer arrivals and to also avoid the crowds that congregate upriver. The steelies are in all the rivers, but for the best chance, look for the flow (cfs) to be dropping or holding steady (after a drop) on your preferred river.
