The Kootenai River is experiencing spring fishing with high water and rising fish. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox have fired manager Alex Cora after a poor start to the season.

Low, steady flows out of Libby Dam (4,000 cfs) and mild weather have the Kootenai River fishing very doable heading into early March. With water temps around 40°F, expect limited dry-fly action—but consistent nymphing and slow, deep streamer presentations can still turn up quality fish, especially in softer 5+ foot holding water.
