Bonners Ferry is
home to some of the best fishing in the Northwest. From fly fishing high
mountain streams and lakes to trolling area lakes for trout Bonners Ferry has
everything for any one who wants to slow down and 'Get Outside'.
Kootenai
River: The Kootenai River is home to some of the best
trout fishing around. Originating from the Libby Dam in
Montana, the Kootenai River flows out of Lake Kookanusa.
This river provides the perfect habitat for Rainbow Trout,
Whitefish And Bull Trout. There have been rainbows as big as
30lbs taken from this river, however the average size is
about 8-20 inches.
The
Kootenai River flows from 3,000cfs to 30,000cfs which makes
it a challenging river to fish. To help you we have provided
a hatch guide as well as some suggestions from some of our
local fishing enthusiasts to get you started.
Local Lakes:
We also have many local lakes that are home to
everything from Trophy Smallmouth Bass, Tiger Muskie and
Rainbow Trout to pan fish like Crappie and Perch. To get you
started we have a guide to some of our favorite local lakes
that include maps and hatch guides as well as some
suggestions on which artificial and live baits that we like
to use.
