Thought I would start a spin off Thread from the thread posted about the St. Joe river. I am headed over this coming weekend for three days of R&R and fishing on the NF. I will be bringing my pontoon and plan on floating sections for Big Hank on down. The flows are expected to be in the 1300 - 1500 range which I feel is very fishable. I am also expecting a bit more pressure than usual due to everything else being "blown out" from all the recent rain and run off. I see Silver Bow Fly Shop out of Spokane shows the NF as fishing well. I plan on calling some of the local fly shops around Wednesday to see what they say as well. Would love an local knowledge or recent reports.

We got with another inch of rain again last night and we're supposed to get another .5" by this time tomorrow. The flows at Enaville are 5,400 CFS today. It's not really wadable at those levels but it's floatable. I just took a trip for Thursday so I'll let you know how that goes, assuming it happens.

Wise choice Jim. I was there yesterday and never even bothered to get out of the truck. Went up Tepee looking for anything worthwhile to flog but it wasn't worth the time.
Last update was 3480CFS

I had 2 buds who just cut their CDA trip short yesterday after heading out on Sun, it was just hosing it big style and the river just kept going up and up. Was jealous but of course now feel bad for them. A long way to go to turn around

I wouldn't be surprised to see that thing back in shape by this time next week.
Hopefully it's not closed due to fires by then!Coach
I would agree....Next blow out will be when I make plans for August.

I fished the CDA one spring with Norcal
We had a great day with light rain.
May fly hatch was over the top with many nice cutts to hand.
By afternoon the rain got heavier and Norcal said we better get to shore before we can't.
Heavy rain all nite and the river and by morning the river was way up in the trees and fully blown out.
My three day trip only had one day of fishing
