Cooler conditions and recent rain have improved trout fishing on the Coeur d'Alene, with blue-winged olives, mahogany mayflies, and caddis nymphs active.
Panhandle
Solid daytime hatches of mayflies and caddis with nymphing and streamer fishing both productive for 12-16 inch trout.
Panhandle
Dropping water temperatures in the low 60s are fueling strong smallmouth and pike fishing around shallow cover and structure.
North-Central Idaho
The Lochsa is running at a good early-fall level with plenty of fishable water. Cooling temperatures are shifting trout onto nymphs and small streamers.
North-Central Idaho
The North Fork is at 783 cfs with excellent 58°F water temperatures favoring streamer fishing. Cooler weather and rain make darker, visible patterns worth your time.
Panhandle
The Saint Joe is running low and stable at 365 cfs with fish concentrated in deeper structure. Target small nymphs, caddis, and sculpins in pocket water and current seams.
North-Central Idaho
The Selway is running normal flows with good habitat mix ideal for targeting terrestrials during the day and nymphs when conditions turn cloudy.
North-Central Idaho
Steelhead counts are improving on the Snake with fish actively moving upstream. Target inside corners and softer current lanes using floating lines and Skagit heads.
Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho
Selective fishing between seasons on the South Fork with Blue Winged Olives, Mahogany mayflies, and terrestrials on the menu.
Panhandle
The Spokane River near Post Falls is running 859 cfs and rising after recent rain, but remains in good shape for fishing.
South Central Idaho
Covers Sep 9–16
The Big Wood runs low and clear heading into mid-September, requiring stealth and first-cast accuracy. Cool mornings trigger Red Quill hatches alongside Baetis, Tricos, and small flies.
Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho
Clear water and mostly clear skies offer classic September conditions on the South Fork, though gusty winds will taper the afternoon dry-fly window. Flows are trending ideal for fall, with grasshoppers, ants, and stoneflies all on the menu.
Salmon Region
The Salmon River is in fishable fall condition with moderate flows and steady hatch activity through mid-day. Olive patterns and sculpin imitations are worth working.
