Hatch Status

Stray Hecuba mayflies and caddis with sporadic rises throughout day; aggressive and splashy takes rather than soft sips

Conditions

Fish are spreading from summer lies into riffles, tailouts, and deeper pools with sporadic rising and aggressive takes throughout the day. As of September 25, flows were stable near 859 cfs at Post Falls. Caddis, Pseudo-baetis, and Hecuba mayflies are active, with some early-season BWO activity as well. Chubbies and small stonefly nymphs are your best bets in this window.
