2010 River Reports
The Kootenai River:
3/2/10 - The winter that wasn't. It's been in the 50's and sunny for the last few days. Any hope of increasing snow pack is fading quickly. I've actually seen a few bugs flying around the water. Way too soon. If this keeps up early season on the Koot will be great and should start getting good here in another month or so. Right now the 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:
3/2/10 - 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. But it's looking that way.. If you're planning on floating any of the tribs this year shoot for the first couple of weeks after the opening. Even that might not be possible given this years low snow. Could be walk wade right from the get go.
Cabinet Mountain Lakes:
3/2/10 - 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!
