It’s prob been 17+/- years or so since .brand and I fished the Mo together. Hopefully it’s not another 17 years.

August hasn't been too shabby... have you been out taking advantage of the smoke free skies and cooler temps?

August thoughts on the blog:

This weekend’s forecast… sunny with a chance of steel.

Steelheading in August isn’t on most anglers radar, but maybe it should be…

Have a great weekend!

The skies are clear, the temps comfortable, the smiles are plenty. August hasn’t been too shabby so far.

By August trout have seen a lot of insects float by, both natural and imitative. Takes are quick and light with only one chance of opportunity to get a hookset. Read more on the blog on summer trout tips and thoughts.

It’s gunna be a toasty one this weekend around Spokane. Early or late on the Spokane River will be best. Rivers like the St. Joe or NF Coeur d’Alene will fish best in the morning when temps are ideal for trout. Mid-late next week it looks like we will get a little break from this crazy hot weather. 🤞🏻have a great weekend!

Words about June fishing in the region over on the blog:

Randy D. working the heavy currents of the Spokane in search of its hidden gems, native Redband trout. We are loving the new Rio Craft Madison series too! The boats handle all types of water and have been comfortable for both the rower and anglers.

Tuesday trout, the westlope cutthroat. Their willingness to feed on the surface makes them a perfect target for dry fly enthusiasts and we are lucky to have some wonderful streams nearby where they thrive.
