North Fork Coeur d"Alene River 5/29/18

NF CDA Flows - Cataldo 3,410 CFS,  Prichard 700 CFS water temp 56 degrees

I was up in the NF CDA twice late last week and fished several spot up and down the river.  Some fished well while other I came up short.  I've been fishing streamers a lot and have had good success swinging smaller green and grey articulating streamer like a Heisenberg, or a Masked Avenger and stripping them slowly up the bank.  Stones, Brown Drakes, PMDs and Yellow Sallies have been out on most days.  Try applying a minimum of floatant and present your stonefly half sunk.  They seem to key on half drowned stones.  The weather will cool down this week and flows will be going down a little slower.  We should start to see Green Drakes any day now.  We have a good supply and variety of GD's in stock.
