The St. Joe has been fishing well in the high water. Clarity is good and the warmer days have had some bugs out. Streamer fishing and nymphing will be good in the slower water if you aren’t seeing fish up. Places to wade are limited, so choose your spots wisely. Floating the lower river is a good option until flows come up again.

The lakes are a good option now. Lakes in Eastern washington have been fishing well for trout using balanced leeches and some chironomids, but the local lakes are starting to get active too. Pike have been starting to move into the shallows in some lakes and this is a good time of year to find the big one. Crappie and bass are starting to stage in a little deeper water so dragging a balanced leech over the weed beds and drop offs have been finding fish. It will continue to get better as things warm up.
The Washington side is closed until May. The Idaho side is still open, but flows are still very high.
Wrapping up the steelhead reports for this year. Hope everyone had a great season!
