I would check with fish tales and see if they have a open spot. Might be hard to find a trip on such short notice. The guides should be booked up cause this missed 20 some days from the flood but always wroth a phone call and a try. Ask for terry Johnson at fish tales he's a really good guide.

Dry fly and nymph guy. Done a bit of streamer fishing but not to fussed on it, but have tied up some sculpin patterns to be a bit more representive of bait fish in the water so will try those. I'm using a 9' tapered leader (3,4 and 5X), four turn water knot 2' tippet, fly, then 2' Tippet then a smaller fly. Flies I've been chucking are klinkhamers, caddis emergers and adults, BWO spinners (early am) Nymphs, stones, hares ear, prince, copper johns size 14 to 8. Thanks for your help. The confidence is taking a knock blanking every time.
i hope you all so have tried some sj worms they are a killer on the bow. I have had luck every year on a elk hair caddis size 12 hocked a 20 inch rainbow last saturday and all so have had luck on a size 20 adams as well.

for nymphing triple rig nymphs. I use a nine foot 3x leader and then usually tie on 8 to ten inches of 8 pound test onto it. Then I tie either a swivel from that and start my rig from there, or if im going three big nymphs I start right from the 8 lb. I tie eye to eye with about 10 to 12 inches in between flys. If i want to use a smaller nymph I tie 6 inches after the swivel tie the first small nymph there then another pc of 8 lb 20 inches from the swivel and the second bigger fly there. Then end with a worm or a streamer on the end. Thats how i nymph and the other set up I use a lot is hopper dropper.

I have gone with terry johnson from fish tales twice and my parents have gone with him as well. Very good guide been guiding the bow for 17 years this season. Im plan on going again with him next year. Will do whatever it takes to get you to catch fish. I went with him this season a month after the big flood and we where hopper dropping all day and on the look out for rising fish. If he saw one he pulled over and where casting to it. HAd a good day fish count considering the flood that happened. Next year will be a great year for fishing. Always good after a major flood. Hope this helps a little

I havent had any white fish since the flood have floated half a dozen times all trout.

*hit what happened to being nice and friendly....now it's a dog eat dog world.....
Its like the guides feel they have paying clients that they take priority and everyone else doesn't matter. Some of the guides are so bad on the water but some are great. I have taken trips with fish tales before and there guides are great. I wont name the shop that the guide was being a ass hole.
-
Its not just bc guides that act bad on the river. I was floating two weeks ago from 22x to mac and coming to the island just after wouldn't it be nice. I was rowing and was on the left bank getting set up to fish the hole at the end of the island. There is a guide on the end of the island tying on his clients flys NOT even fishing just standing on shore. And this guide has the nerve to yell out thats crowding you know. I was more shocked he said that I didnt know what to do.
Sorry to hear about your story Mayfly.
-
total garbage I floated it yesterday from 22 to mac. As soon as we hit the high wood we fished until the first high bank cause it was still fishable till then and after that we rowed out to mac. It sucks. A lot of new holes from the flood in the lower section and cant fish them right now.
-
Dynasty Auto Glass I have had good luck with. Alot of the guys from my shop use them great price came and got the jeep and within two hours the jeep was back at my shop with the new one installed.
-
The fishing hole has a water proof contact cement that I have used couple of times and it works great. Just give everything a light sand and apply contact cement to both surfaces and let dry and stick to each other.. When I stuck them toghter I then clamped it over night was good to go and that was last season.

22x is open and so is police mans flats. Not a lot of parking at police but usable is what I hear.
-
Police is fine, there is a usable launch there now.... i used it Friday night
I wouldn't consider that a really safe launch at police. Surpsied they haven't blocked the road off cause its so washed out. How was the river fishing for you on Friday night.
-
So took a drive today. The launch at 22x has one lane open can easily get a boat in there. Police mans flats is a write off this year unless someone nice does it for free. Mac the gate was open today and people. Pulling boats out which was a good sign. One guy said fishing was ok river is changed a lot. So it sounds encouraging at the least.
-
I hope the launch at 22x survives by the look of the pics i have seen of mac the river is in the overflow parking lot be interesting to see what happens when it goes down again. 2005 was a write for fishing but the years after where epic. See what happens this year.
-
Had to be there,everyone was doing 40 with lots of people stopped.Was very easy to pull in and leave.
Just because the radio said it was dangerous..well you know.You'd had a harder time getting out of Chinook mall on a Sunday.
Whatever man if you wanted to stop and take a chance to get killed just to take a picture of the river be my guest. But its a stupid thing to do and I don't believe everyone was doing 40 there.
-
Always here to help!
Just to be clear, All of the Policemans Flat's pics were tertiary to safety and the actual supply food, water deliveries I was making for
friends who live down there and where stranded. Opportunistic moments... at safely calculated times! If it weren't safely wadeable ... I most certainly wouldn't have been there!
Safety is always paramount to any photo opportunities, under any circumstance!
those who challenge that "theory" .... we'll ... that's where Darwin introduces himself!
Thanks for bringing it up, as I forgot to add a note like such.... so darn involved figuring out how to add photo's on here...
oh i understand down there if I went to look at the river thats where I would go. To stop on the side of deerfoot just to take a picture of the river is just asking for death.
-
thank you for posting pics. I havent been down yet to see for myself. But I would never stop on deer foot and take pictures of the river. Just asking for trouble. Use your heads and please don't cause another emergency from your stupidity. Know to many people in first responders that would have to deal with your mistake for just taking pictures.

well maybe if poilcemans got washed out they can build a better boat launch cause the last one was so bad.
-
Does anyone if poilcemans held or got washed out again. This is worse then 05. But after 05 flood the fishing was GREAT. So see what happens now.
-
The most i have lost in one day is 15 and thats nymphing with a triple fly rig. SO frustrating lossing flies and tying a triple fly rig on five times for the day.
-
i Use the big foam one from fishin hole and shove a tooth pick in the line where i want it. Dosnt kink the leader easy adjust if needed.
