North-Central Idaho

Clearwater River

Early steelhead are arriving on the lower Clearwater thanks to cold dam discharge and prime water temperatures. Small hair-wing and skated flies should be your focus.

North-Central Idaho

Lochsa River

Dropping flows are concentrating trout in pocket water and seams on the Lochsa, with Yellow Sallies and caddis active during morning and evening hours.

North Fork Clearwater River

Early summer steelhead and resident trout make the North Fork a dependable summer option with stable flows and prime water temperatures.

932 cfs

North-Central Idaho

Selway River

The Selway is dropping into prime summer fishing with stable flows and solid surface activity. Dry-dropper rigs with Yellow Sallies, caddis, and terrestrials are the ticket.
