Channel Cat, smallmouth bass, cutthroat & rainbow trout, and then steelhead this fall.
My absolute favorite is fly fishing for Cutthroat, I love watching them take it off the top when they are taking dry flies well.
Wow, nice to have access to the trout family!
Do the trout waters you fish have the cats and smallmouths also, or do you go elsewhere for them :?:
No, I fish for catfish in the Snake River, smallmouth in the Snake River and Main Clearwater River, and the Cutthroat and Rainbows in the Northfork of the Clearwater, Kelly Creek, Southfork of the Clearwater, Lochsa, and Selway.
The Snake River and Clearwater are right out my front door (Lewiston is at their confluence), all the others except the Northfork are 2 hours away, and the Northfork is 3 hours away. My favorite thing to do in the whole world is to spend a week camping and fly-fishing on the Northfork.
Here is a pic of the Northfork, hard to find better scenery and the fishing is outstanding. Kelly Creek feeds into this and is also great fly-fishing. Both are artificial single barbless hook only. The Northfork you can keep two fish a day, cutthroat have to be over 14" and any size rainbow. Most just release them. Kelly Creek has the same restrictions except it is strictly catch and release.
