and I fished the Kootenai from the Yaak to the Moyie. Long 17
mile float and 9 hours but well worth it due to fish sizes. We saw not
one Montana or Idaho fly fisher the entire day. If you decide to go let me
know and I'll suggest some productive spots from our trip. Best way to fish is
using the shuttle at Twin Rivers Campground in Moyie Springs right at the
mouth of the Moyie. They have redone their ramp there and it is much easier
than years past. Shuttlier name is Rex. Cost is $40 + $5 gratuity.
Sometimes his wife Shelly does the shuttle. Phone is 208-267-5932. Their
busy season is just beginning, so call for shuttle reservation in
advance.

This is a beautiful and
pristine float. I only counted 5-6 visible houses (up on the bluff b/w the Yaak
and Moyie River ridge. You will also float right by the old MT/ID mining
ghost town of Leonia where Boulder Creek flows into the
Kootenai. White tail, eagles and osprey abound. Absolutely no difficult
water. Should the wind be from the west, can require some rowing at the
very last of the float.
Hard takes, tight lines, sore arms
and shoulders and huge fish to you. Hope you have a really great summer.
Kootenai just above the Moyie |
