Nortrad Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 What a beautiful part of the country! Visited my son Andrew and his girl Katie during week after Labor Day. The N. Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River meanders in a long circle north of Wallace, ID, fed by many creeks. Wild cutthroats and rainbows only, all C&R. There was some info about 18-22" ones but we didn't get into any. All fish caught on top with: parachute-style caddis, Adams, Klinkhammer, Royal Wulff, and red Humpy. These fish smack the fly. Landed 2 fish at just above 14", great fighters. Andrew out-hooked me but is still working on his playing/landing. What a trip. Hope to come back next year, maybe Spring.
Guest Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I bet that was a great time. Thanks for the pictures.
Gavin Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Cutty's on dries...great scenery. Time with the family...Cant go wrong! Glad you had a great trip.
ColdWaterFshr Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Enjoyed that too. Thanks for the pics and the report.
Nortrad Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks guys. We did not cover all the water we were supposed to, passing a lot of great looking water. Town of Wallace is a fun little historic town with restaurants, two brew pubs, great shops. We also hit a beautiful lake for some small 'bows and brookies. A little cool that day so the bite was off. Again, cannot wait to get back.
BilletHead Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Nice report, My, how we wish we were still out there fishing. You got to love those aggressive cutt's.
