Conditions

The Lochsa is running typical lower September flows at 490 cfs near Lowell, with fish concentrated in pocket water, deeper riffles, shaded banks, and defined seams. Terrestrials remain productive during warmer afternoon hours, while the season's cooling trend favors nymphs and small streamers. Consider dry-dropper rigs and small attractors to cover the water effectively.
