Alan Liere's hunting and fishing report for June 11

Alan Liere's hunting and fishing report for June 11 anchors a day of productive angling across the Northwest as cooler weather and light rain push mayfly hatches into action. The North Fork Coeur d'Alene River system is described as fishing well, while some smaller tributaries are running a touch low for quality fish. Expect Green and Gray Drakes, PMDs, and BWOs to emerge, with terrestrials like ants coming into play as daytime temperatures rise. Dry-dropper rigs remain a proven prospecting tactic when anglers aren't seeing rises. In the Spokane area, the river sections above Latah Creek and out in Spokane Valley reported solid fishing, helped by strong caddis hatches and active downstream smallmouth in the Grande Ronde.
