Conditions
Dry fly fishing has been steady on the Spokane River, though flows are beginning to rise from dam operations. As of September 11, the gauge near Post Falls showed 859 cfs with an upward trend expected to continue. Overcast skies and mild temperatures are favoring hatches of caddis, Pseudo-baetis, October Caddis, and BWOs on cooler days. Consider foam hopper patterns, October Caddis dries, and small mayfly nymphs as conditions shift with rising water.
