2010 River Reports

The Kootenai River:

2/2/10 - Not much winter so far really. El Nino' or some such. Mild wet and damp but no real significant snow yet this year. Snow packs are running low, and we really need more but our wettest average months are yet to come. If you have to get out drag some nymphs deep and stay warm! Water is cold and flows are at 4000 cfs for a while. I'll keep things posted as needed.

If you are thinking about traveling to see us this year now is a great time to start planning. Give us a call or send off an email if we can help.

Lake Creek, Bull River, Yaak River & small streams:

2/2/10 - Are all closed for the season. Open the 3rd Saturday of May. We'll update this and keep you informed as to snow pack and weather as spring rolls along. With a low snow pack season opener could be great. Time will tell.

Cabinet Mountain Lakes:

2/2/10 - If you're into winter time camping and hiking think about snowshoeing and some ice fishing. It's the only way to get to them. Talk about solitude!
