It’s a gorgeous autumn day on your Idaho ranch getaway. The temperature peaks in the 60s, the skies are swimming pool blue, and there’s an elk bugling in the distant brush. You can’t ask for a more perfect day to go Idaho trout fishing.
Best Trout Fishing in Idaho
Many locations known for the best trout fishing in Idaho aren’t open all year round. Most streams and lakes are open from the end of May through November 30. Before heading out to your chosen spot to fish, read up on the fishing regulations. Special rules may apply to that region.
St. Joe River
The St. Joe River begins in the west slope of the Bitterroot Mountains and flows for 140 miles toward Lake Coeur d’Alene. Many locals consider St. Joe River to be a wild and scenic river. The river’s spinach-green waters are so clear that visitors can see the bottom, 20 feet below the surface. The St. Joe River is traditionally home to a large population of Westslope cutthroat trout that can reach over 20 inches long when mature. St. Joe is also known to have a variety of different hatches, including stoneflies, mayflies, caddisflies, and terrestrials. We’re confident you’ll experience lots of action and during your fishing trip.
North Fork Coeur d’Alene River
Located an hour from Spokane, the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River is an excellent spot for fly fishing. The native Westslope cutthroat trout will seem to jump out of the water for you at this spot! You can also let your boat drift along the coast to work the shoreline for trout. You may even see the occasional moose or black bear passing by the North Fork.
