Headed For Idaho

[brittsnbirds]

I am headed up to visit my son in Sandpoint, Idaho next week. Does anyone here have any suggestions for fly fishing up in the North Central area of Idaho?

I'm taking my 3, 4, and 5 wt rods with all my tying gear. Anyone that has been there, I would appreciate your suggestions as I can get a jump on my tying.

Thanks

Pat

I fished the Snake River back in the late 80s. I have never caught more bows over 3 pounds in my life yet!

Pat,

I found this site you might want to look at: Sandpoint Outfitters

Plus I'm on the Rocky Mountain Fly Forum and one gentlemen posted this info for fly fishing info:

...pretty generic, EHC, Royal Wulffs, Adams, Stimulators, Trudes, Princes, PPPT's, N.Fk. Specials, rubber legs, etc...

...don't know if there's a flyshop in Sandpoint, now, last decent one closed...

...he might try the upper Cd'A river, Jordan Cr. area over the Bunco or Buckskin...

...the Moyie, n. of Bonners Ferry should be in pretty good shape, & the Kootenai se of Bonners Ferry, but @ current flows, wading will be tough...

Also, another guy indicated they want you to say hello to Jake Plummer (I think he is still the Broncos QB)

Well that is ll I got for now, but if you fish the Kootenai River it might want a big rod than your 5wt.

Later,

Pat,

Here is some info from

Tom Everson, the Western Director for The Orvis Company

"I recommend contacting Northwest Outfitters in Coeur d'Alene, 208-772-1497 (NWOutfitters.com).

They are an Orvis Dealer and do a great job in North Central Idaho."
