Portneuf River Report 9/7/2009


Water Color: Very Good
Water Quality: Excellent
Water Temp: Cooler than last week 55 degrees
Weather: 75 degrees, windy, partly cloudy
Time: 4:30-6:30
Bugs: Hoppers, Hoppers and Hoppers
Flies: Daves Hopper, Parachute Hopper, Pheasant Tail droppers

The Portneuf fished well today with good numbers of large fish eating hoppers and droppers. I hooked up more on the dropper than the hopper, but the action will only get better from here. I really think that as the forecast is supposed to be cooler at nights that the fish will get very active. The larger fish are really starting to move. This may be the best that it gets until the river closes.

Excellent! I'll see if I can get up there after school sometime this week or next. When is the official closing there in Idaho?

Yeah, the river looked and fished great. I did have to get deep with some nymphs. The river closes at the end of November.

Looks good. Our trout should start moving here too soon. Will have to hit them up when I get back from the states. Only 2 weeks of bass fishing left I think.
