FISHING -- Noticing the heavy fly-fishing activity on the Clearwater River recently, Idaho Fish and Game Department fisheries biologist Jaime Robertson is warning anglers about a planned surge of water that could catch anglers -- especially wading anglers -- by surprise.

Between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22, discharge from Dworshak Dam will be increased from about 1,500 cubic feet per second to 2,600 cfs.  After completing a test, dam operators will return the the discharge to 1,500 cfs. 

"Be careful and let others know of the upcoming flow change," Robertson said.
