Last Week:
Fishing and water conditions over the past week have been very sporadic, and lead to some inconsistent fishing results. The first half of last week fished well for drift boat anglers on the upper river. Conditions had fully recovered from the weekend cold snap and fishing was consistent through Thursday. Things changed drastically on Friday morning when the lower half of the South Fork started pumping chocolate milk. When this happened we were left with only a few miles of fishable water above the mouth of the South Fork. Anglers that managed to find fish and secure good spots did well, but it was mostly an anchor and bobber fishing game.
The lower river immediately below Orofino fished well for power boats over the weekend, but the water was just too high and pushy for any success to be had with a drift boat. Fishing this time of year tends to be a little unpredictable due to the high variability in weather and water conditions.
This Week:
Fishing and river conditions will continue to be unpredictable over the coming week. Rain is in the forecast for the entire week, and fishing will be entirely dependent on what the river does. There is a ton of fish in the system and if high water holds off we should experienced great fishing over the next week or so. During this time of year river conditions can become sporadic with the onset of warmer temperatures and spring time conditions. Anglers should take a look at current flow charts before heading out. All of this information is linked at the bottom of this page.
