Canceled-Northern Idaho Rivers 

Camping Hosts:  Scott Keenholts and Norm Hill

Date: September 15-20th

Registration Fee: $50/per person (no charge for 2 hosts) 

Our campground will be in the small town of Lowell, 340 miles east of Seattle  at Three Rivers Campground located right where the Lochsa and Selway Rivers converge. Just 20 miles west is the convergence of the South and Middle Forks of the Clearwater River in the town of Kooskia.  Native cutthroat and bull trout are the primary catch, taking Mayflies, Caddis or Grasshoppers.  You need a well stocked fly box to cover all of these rivers.  Wading will be easy on the Selway and Lochsa.  Boats and pontoons can be used on the Clearwater.  There are many tributaries worthy of fishing as well.  Three Rivers Campground has full facilities for comfortable tent camping as well as RV dry sites.  Gas up in Kooskia before driving 20 miles to Lowell as there are no facilities available in Lowell.
