Conditions

At 510 cfs as of September 11, the Lochsa holds a nice early-fall level with plenty of fishable pocket water, riffles, and seams. Cooler weather is bringing trout onto nymphs and small streamers, though terrestrials still work during the warmer parts of the day. Consider working the smaller buckets and softer edges alongside faster current.

Gauges

Techniques

  • Work through smaller buckets, riffles, seams and pocket water rather than focusing only on bigger pools
  • Terrestrials still worth throwing, mix in more nymphs and small streamers as cooler weather arrives
