Hatch Status
October Caddis hatches dissipating, fall Caddis and BWO's getting fish to surface
Conditions
The Spokane River is fishing well as October transitions into fall. October caddis hatches are fading, but fall caddis and BWOs are bringing fish to the surface. As caddis activity diminishes, perdigon-style nymphs become more critical to success. Flows were stable near 1,140 cfs at Post Falls as of October 18, providing good conditions to work both the surface and subsurface.
Gauges
Techniques
- Chubbies with a dropper will find fish
- Double nymph rigs go-to with stone and Perdigon leading
- Perdigon-style nymphs more important than Caddis pupa as Caddis hatches fade
- Streamers or small soft hackles getting good grabs
