Lewiston, Idaho Fishing Report 11.15.18

Lewiston Fishing Report

Clearwater River (ID)

The current flow is 5,200 cfs at Spaulding. With the river dropping, fishing has been productive for a few anglers. Yet, I have still had some folks coming in reporting that the fishing has not been treating them well. Fishing in the lower river could be more productive. The upper river has been heavily fished by the conventional anglers. A type-8 sink tip with a black and blue hoh-bo Spey should be able to move some fish.

Snake River (WA)

The current flow is 14,400 cfs at Anatone. It is dropping slowly and fishing well for most folks. The water temperatures are hovering in the high 40s. This is a good time to fish an intermediate poly-leader with a heavier ironed traditional. Intruders on light sink tips can also bring fish to hand.

Grande Ronde (WA)

The flow is 770 cfs at Troy, Oregon. Fishing on the Ronde has been hit or miss for most anglers. The water has come down and cleared up. Fishing with a light sink tip and a loop leech can bring fish to hand. Intruder style flies will work too. Traditionals can also bring fish to hand when fished on an intermediate poly-leader.
