Title: Fly fishing near priest river ID
Post by: dwils233 on July 22, 2016, 08:04:46 AM: I'm tagging along with my girlfriend tomorrow to priest river. She'll be in a conference from 10-2 so I figured I could do a little fishing to kill time and practice on the fly rod. Anyone have any information about good flies or a spot to fish nearby? Anyone care to join me? I'm new to the fly rod but any opportunity to get outside is a good enough excuse for me!
