IDAHO 'FISH-IN 2002' PHOTOS


By Deanna Lee Birkholm, Publisher FAOL


Steelhead tour
Several of the group wanted to give steelhead fishing a try. Dick Lane (Fishing injun) took a group downstream on the Clearwater near Lewistown, Idaho and showed them where, when and how. After the scouting mission, spent the rest of that day and part of the next day fishing for steelhead. Three were caught - a marvel since some people fish for them for years before catching even one. Please do a 'mouse-over' for names on these.

The Locksa River is a beautiful piece of water. Around every bend is another Norman Rockwell painting. Near the resort the rocks are smaller and easier wading. A wading staff was certainly recommended anywhere however. The further upstream we went the larger the rocks and boulders. Long flat slicks, riffle water, little waterfalls, and very deep drop offs and pools give the fish wonderful holding water.

It may not look as deep, really clear
Huge Boulders, lots of fish!
Here's JC and the LadyFisher turning over rocks on the Lochsa near the resort. Lots of caddis, in several sizes. Some for now, some for later!

Looking for fish

October Caddis!


A final photo of the Lochsa, the rock is the size of a house!

There was about 12 miles of the Selway River also adjacent to camp as well, again, nice rainbows, and cutthroat. Excellent fishing was reported by all who fished it.

More to come on the tying and demonstrations, stay tuned.
