: Kelly Creek: November can be very productive fishing the Lochsa, Selway, North Fork Clearwater rivers, and Kelly Creek. Fly anglers should focus on the deeper pools and use smaller nymphs to find fish. These streams have harvest and gear restrictions to protect the easily caught cutthroat, so please review the regulations before you go. If youre looking for something new, the hard-fighting, yet under-appreciated whitefish is very common in the region and can grow to 20 inches. The Clearwater River below Orofino, the Selway, Lochsa, and North Fork Clearwater rivers all have excellent populations of this sporty fish. Small wet flies fished just off the bottom in riffle areas works very well. Reported by: |

| About: - Kelly Creek is in the northern part of Idahos Clearwater National Forest. Like the St. Joe River just to the north, Kelly is born high in the Bitterroot Mountains on the Montana-Idaho border. Similarities between the two waters dont end there. Both offer fine catch-and-release angling for native westslope cutthroat trout. And although the St. Joe is called a river and Kelly is dubbed a creek, the two waters are similar in size and character, especially in their roadless headwater sections. Best of all, Kelly and the neighboring St. Joe can easily be fished in the same week. The best fishing is in late July, August, and September. August and September is good for hoppers |
