Is there lots of ice on the river?
I was planning on buying a tribe fishing license for the Clearwater if the fishing was something to be investigated. If you were going to fish would you hit the Clearwater, Grande Ronde or the Snake?
BTW, I have no boat so we will be bank fishing.
You can PM me if you would like. Thank you for any help you can provide.

We ate at Roosters... That place is great. Thank you for that tip.
But it was not all that bad....
We were bank fishing when we hear the boat banging the rocks.
If flips over in the rapids. Two guys and two kids all wearing lifevests. The two kids are scrambling the two men are scrambling to right the boat and get the kids to shore. They get the boat to shore with everyone all safe. Here is the picture of the rower bailing water from the boat with a dust pan and the other adult looking for gear.

The adult gave up looking for gear started to help with the boat.

I cast and I see some cork bobbing in the water. I reel in fast and cast over it and snagged and reeled this in.

After further investigation I see it is a rather nice set up. Loomis rod and nice reel. Ahhh the reason why the one adult was looking in the water. That makes sense.

The one adult that took the biggest dip in the water jumped in the chase car with the two mothers. Now they looked pretty excited when they were hoofing it to the boat. But they allowed the two children to stay in the boat for the rest of the float. Here is the picture of my son handing him his rod I snagged for him. He was pretty happy to get it back.

We did look at how he had that rod set up.

Tuesday we did a short day and managed to go 6 for 9 with 2 hens in the box! The rest were bucks and I didnt want to keep them.
Wednesday I had two guys and we went 10 for 14 with they decided keep. Two of them were nice size hens one went 28 1/2 inches and the other was 29 1/2 inches the other two were cookie cutter bucks we also had some very nice wild hens that went between 30 and 32 inches and a few smaller bucks. It was a pretty good day all and all! The river looks pretty nasty from on top but there are fish in there and they are willing to bite!
Good Luck out there!
