Idaho Fish In - Forecast

[JohnScott]

Just checked the USGS site for flows on the Selway and Lochsa Rivers and Weather.com for the ten day forecast for Kamiah, which is about 30 miles downstream of Lowell.

The flows are right at long term averages for the Selway this morning, and a bit higher than long term averages on the Lochsa. Both have been steadily dropping since the VERY high flows for most of the summer. Both should be in prime shape for the Fish In.

There may be a weather station closer to Lowell than Kamiah, but at only 30 miles away, Kamiah is close enough. Starting Saturday, at Lowell, the highs will likely be in the low 70's and the lows will likely be in the high 40's with clear skies and practically no chance of rain at least through Wednesday.

Don't have a forecast for the fishing / catching, but look forward to reporting some good times late next week.

AND,,,,Weather.com's record for predicting my weather is not the best. SSOOOO come prepared for anything, concerning the weather, but always a good time, from what I have read, since I have never made a fishin, OH HECK I'm going no matter what the weather!!!!!

I always pack the same thing for Lowell. I'm usually ready for hot weather to snow and everything in between. Never can tell about those mountain areas.

You going up John?

You going up John?

Yep -

Leaving Saturday morning. Not sure when I will get there, since I may try the Upper Selway out of Paradise Campground about 70 miles upstream of Lowell, and / or the Lochsa on the way down from Lolo Pass. Probably Sunday afternoon or evening ??
