Northwest Fishing Reports

river is looking good , went down last sunday was into some cutthroats, on the dry flies early a.m.
looking for some fishing buddies, to float it with or hike the shoelines,

Don't tempt me!

Sure they were Cutts? Should be some Bows, lots of Red Bands (native Bow look alike), maybe some Browns, perhaps some SMB in the upper stretch.

Wish I had a drift boat, my boat won't work.

been seeing more and more cuts in the upper river

AWSOME!!!!

woo hoo the river is open, I think I'll head down while my daughter is at soccer practice, at plantes ferry

hit the river yesterday in the morning. landed to beauties ( cutties )
had one get away from me the river is in good shape, going down again tonight

Lived in the valley for all 31 years of my life and never fished the river until last Thursday. Got one small rainbow on a fly (spinning tackle with a casting bobber) off the rocks at Mirabeau. I work right there so just ran down there on my lunch break. Last night I went up near Flora and nailed some smallmouth. I plan to fish this thing a lot this year.

let me know when you go again, I'll show you some hot spots along the river.
do you have a pontoon?

I will do that, thanks!

I don't have a pontoon, just walking the bank for now. As low as the water is that is fairly difficult!

Bank fishing and wading is all i do. I have a pontoon just no one to go with. Yeah the water is super low already

Sent you a PM with contact info.

Anyone been hitting the river lately? I know silverbow been having fun.

I did once, been bass fishing out of my kayak mostly this year though.

right on, just in the lakes?
I need to float the river on the toon still

I've hit up quite a few different lakes in it. Liberty, Silver, Newman, Long, Medical, Fan, Eloika, Sacheen, and one sekrit spot that I've been hammering some nice smallmouth in. I'm getting pretty confident in the kayak, maybe next year will try out some moving water. I also definitely want to do the Little Spokane from St George's to 9 mile sometime. Just have to figure out the vehicle situation since I normally fish alone. Reason being my days off are in the middle of the week, sucks mostly but makes for some peaceful fishing opportunities.
