Fishing Report - St. Joe River September 13, 2015

Water between Avery and Calder, Idaho is at October levels, and fishing is similar to most years a month from now.  Fish are moving down stream as the water temperature cools and are schooling up in the deeper pools below the riffles where oxygen levels are high.

Early morning and evening, fish are slurping small midges in the slack water.  Mid day they are active in the riffles hitting hoppers and attractor patterns, but will also hit small mayfly patterns in the end of the riffle.  Fishing is still pretty good, and I think will get better as more fish move downstream.
