Coeur d Alene Fishing Report

Coeur d’Alene River

Dry fly fishing is good on the CDA right now. The spruce moths, rusty spinners, caddis, run with soft hackles in the morning. Look out for the remaining ants, hoppers, and beetles tight to brushy banks on the warmer, sunnier days. Also, October caddis nymphs should produce well... And, be sure to keep your eyes open for October caddis adults in the next few weeks too.

St Joe River

October caddis, October caddis, October caddis! Using sizes 10-12 will do the trick. You’ll want to use chernobyls and fat alberts with a pheasant tail or a prince nymph. Plus, don't hesitate to try olive stones, size 16-18. Finally, small sculpin patterns in olive, tan or, black will produce in the deep, boulder garden type water.

Clark Fork River (MT)

Here, they're going to be into sipping small mayflies in the tail outs of pools and current seams. You’ll want to look for mahoganies, tricos, rusty spinners, and caddis. Plus, use chubbys with a prince nymph dropper, beadheaded soft hackle, or a pheasant tail in the faster water. And, attractors like stimis' and humpys will produce as well.
