I need to take more pictures. That is the conclusion that I have come to after viewiing several other blogs. Mine tends to pale in comparison, still I chug along hoping to offer as much info as I can on my home waters. Right now the Upper Portneuf is fishing well in the mornings and evenings. Very shortly the fish should be onto the hoppers in the afternoons. I have not fished the Bear River in quite sometime, but it should fish well later in the month. Usually the water really clears up after they quit messing with the flows and in some stretches the fish will really be looking up for hoppers. I will definitely be out in Black Canyon by the end of the month looking for some of the big fish in the canyon to be looking up. Creeks in the area continue to fish well. Check out McCoy, Tincup, Bear, Brockman, Pebble, Toponce, or Eight mile creeks. I don't think that you can go wrong with any of these creeks later in the month. All of these have good populations of Cutts and are a real hoot to fish. The real purpose of this post is to chronicle the results of my last trip to Bonners Ferry. My brother Todd and I fished Snow Creek and Myrtle Creek and though Myrtle Creek is much larger I ended up catching more fish and larger fish in some of the big pools below some small falls on Snow Creek. Myrtle Creek new to me and has some beautiful water. The real joy of my trip was fishing a canyon section of the Moyie River where we found some great fish, mostly rainbow, and one really nice cutthroat. It was a great time skipping along the really slick rocks, more like greased bowling balls and I have the bruises to prove it. We probably caught 30 fish in this section that recieves relatively little if any pressure since access is through private land and pretty difficult. Well worth the trip.
