Coeur d'Alene River Flow 2,430 cfs and climbing. It fished great last weekend but with the current rain it is on the rise. I think it is still a viable choice though for a few day as it is supposed to stop raining in the next day or two. It is still fairly low but is coming up quickly. The streamer fishing should be killer. Big double Congas, Dungeons, Sculpins, black and olive Woolly Buggers. Get them down quickly with a sink tip or split shot and strip them quickly. Concentrate on the slower pockets and near the banks as the water is coming up and the fish will migrate to the slower stuff now. Nymphing will be great too. Larger stone fly nymphs trailed with a smaller bead head nymph will be killer as well as the San Juan Worm. Hopefully the rain will cease quickly and not muddy up the water to quickly. It should be a killer year up on ...

Missouri River Spring can be an ephemeral thing in Montana and while the calendar says it’s almost here, some days are spring-like and others remain wintery. One thing is inevitable, however. The days are getting longer and the higher sun will continue to work its magic, even when the thermometer dips. One curious thing about spring on the Mo, is that the sunny days are often marginal for fishing. The cloudy days reminiscent of winter can be downright legendary. If you want to enjoy the bright days of spring, by all means, get out there. If you want to catch a bunch of fish, layer up and get after in on the cloudy, rainy, or even snowy ones. Trout spey season remains in full swing with a variety of small streamers getting it done. Scandi or integrated floating lines and long leaders work great in slower flows. Skagit heads with sink-ti...

Lenore Lake Lenore Lake opened March 1. Lenore was one of the Washington's first lakes to have Lahontan cutthroat. For a long time, Lenore had some real bruiser fish in it, but in the last 10 years the size of the fish has diminished. Still, you can expect fish in the 16"-20" range. This time of the year the north end of the lake is going to be a very productive area due to the fish podding up for the spawn cycle. I was able to get out and hit the lake a few days ago and got a hook into a couple of nice fish. But they came unbuttoned shortly after hook-up. The water clarity was poor. Visibility was down to about eight inches and I don’t really didn’t know the exact reason behind the dirty water. Like most years I'm confident it will get better. If you get a chance to hit the lake, #8 black leeches or a #14 red Snow Cone chironomid wo...

Four-time world-champion elk caller Dieter Kaboth says open-reed cow calls are the ticket to bowhunting success. That’s because these calls mimic the sounds of a mature cow, which bulls want to mate with and other elk want to be around. In this video Kaboth gives you techniques and tactics—and good reason—to use these calls during archery season and rifle season.   Hi, I'm Dieter Kaboth and I've been very fortunate to win four world elk calling champions with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

The Loop Q Fly Rod is an incredible piece of fly-casting technology at a price point you won't believe... but that's not the point of this review.This review is about taking the rod out in the field... from Montana to Mexico, and seeing how it plays out against a wide variety of fishy species while competing against the weather of all places. Here's what we found. January 1st 2017 - The Loop Q Debut in Wolf Creek, Montana I made my first cast of the year with a Loop Q 4 wt.... and I caught my first trout of the year on a Loop Q 4 wt. Review? So far, so good. It was smooth and perfect for midging with 5X tippet. Then I tried the 6 wt. A bit faster, the 6 was perfect in the nasty Montana wind. Caught fish on it too. I liked them both. "How much are these rods selling for?" Was a question that floated around in the back of my min...
