Lower CdA River area fishing report

FISHING — Mark Bowen, Idaho Fish and Game Department conservation officer, just posted this fishing report from his recent observations on the Lower Coeur d’Alene River area:

Chain Lakes -

Water levels are a little high but fishable.

Pike fishing seems to be picking up – I checked a few people fishing for pike and they all had some. I didn’t see any that were extra large in size though.

Bass fishing seems to be picking up. One bass boat – caught a few Smallies.

Rose Lake – checked one fishermen at dark. He was cat fishing and had one.

CDA River – fly fishermen are doing well. One fishermen said he had caught 25 Cutthroats and Hybrids. Watch out for Redds (spawning beds) right now.
