Lewiston, Idaho Fishing Report 11.01.18

Clearwater River (ID)

The current flow is 5,850 cfs at Spaulding. The rain has brought the river up and it doesn’t look like the rain is going to let up anytime soon. Kooskia, which is upriver, is predicted to have rain from Wednesday through next Monday. Fishing the Clearwater is possibly out of the question. Check the USGS Gauges before you head out to fish or give us a buzz on the line.

Snake River (WA)

The current flow is 15,600 cfs at Anatone. The fishing has still been treating anglers well on the Snake. The water temperatures have been sitting in the mid-fifties making the critters frisky. With the rain coming up, the Snake might be the best river to focus your efforts on. It might be a little off colored if the Salmon and Grande Ronde Rivers blow out. Traditionals, intruders, and nymphs will all find you fish.

Grande Ronde (WA)

The current flow is 888 cfs at Troy, Oregon. Finding fish has been tough for anglers who are swinging traditionals. Intruders on sink tips have been picking up fish here and there. I have been told that nymphing has been the most productive for anglers. Rain is in the weather prediction, so a chance of it going big and blowing out is a possibility. Checking the USGS Gauges or calling us here will help you out if you’re thinking about fishing.
