Fishing is great. Dry flies are hatching throughout the system. We are seeing Yellow Sallies, PMD’s, golden stones, and some caddis on the upper river. Nymphing, rubber legs, san juan worms, copper johns, and pheasant tails is very productive on the upper river. Look for fish feeding in the riffles. Pink PMD’s and small yellow sallies are working well. We are seeing golden stones, yellow sallies, and a few salmon flies down the canyon. Fish golden stones and yellow sallies on the banks. Don’t be afraid of tying on a salmon fly pattern and give it a shot. If you can find a riffle stop and fish it. PMD’s and mahoganies are going to get you some fish in the boat. If you are out on the water late. Have a selection of may fly spinners in your fly box. Streamer fishing on overcast days is real good. Use dark patterns strip them in nice and slow. Chances are you will get a big one. Be safe out there and be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and insect repellant. Enjoy!
Tight Lines!
Idaho has more river water than any other state outside of Alaska. It has several of the last free-flowing rivers and the largest contiguous wilderness areas in the lower 48. Without question, the lure of the great outdoors is what makes Idaho great.
