2011  Fishing reports for the Clearwater River and the Snake River in Washington
All our trips will be run by the Pat Long, owner of Snake River Guide Service .

A word of caution about the Clearwater. If the water drops again you may find some of the usual tight spots have gotten tighter. Rock and bar hazards are more prevalent so read the water and pay attention. 
Snake River Fishing:
Generally fishing has been productive but no big numbers are being found anywhere after Heller Bar 
flurry faded. Jig and bobber anglers have been doing pretty well on the Snake a little above the Southway Bridge. Seems some of the Clearwater fish are lounging around there waiting for rain.
Those fishing the Snake above Asotin will find fish here and there.
Clearwater River:
The Clearwater has also been stingy and success rates for the average angler remain marginal  . Hopefully it will return to it's regular fickle self soon.

Remember to only charter licensed outfitters in Idaho....it is the law.  If you knowing book with a non licensed guide you may be subject to a fine.
Tip: use fresh, high quality bait as well as new bait oils if yours hasn't been refrigerated or is older than 6 months or so.

Stay safe this winter.

Messages will now be intermittant as we are very busy and have little time for reports.
