The fishing has been good on the Spokane this week. I've been on the river mid-day and have had great results fishing nymph patterns. Most fish were in the 12" to 14" range. One interesting aspect is that the river has been rising during the last 30 days. I decided to check the USGS streamflow data when I came home today and found that the flow has more than doubled and the river has risen a foot from early September levels. The greater volume of water hasn't had any impact on the fishing but some of the sweet spots that have produced fish this summer are changing due to the increased flow.
