I'll be heading to Albeni Falls and Libby dams next week for work and will of course be packing a couple flyrods (three and six weight). I'll be staying in Sandpoint, ID and travelling out to the dams, so I'm looking for any intel on creeks/small rivers that I should check out, recommended patterns, fly shops I shouldn't miss etc. Anyone that lives up there and wants to rendezvous after work one day I'll buy beers. PMs are welcome and you can rest assured I won't share locations over the internet or with anyone but personally vetted fishing buddies. Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- Kent

Thanks Dustin. I dont want to cause any hotspots, wetspots or any kind of spots. PM or DMs welcome. Please no BMs.
Do you know the name of the flyshop in Sandpoint? All I see online is north 40. Thanks -- Kent

Hey Old Man,
When I saw a response from you I was hopeing you were going to tell me to get a gazateer and follow the little blue lines... Maybe next time.

Hey River Pig, I grew up about 3 miles east of Albeni Falls Dam. The only real fly fishing spots around there would be lake fishing outside of Newport. Lots of Pend Orielle tributaries around Sandpoint but most people have tight lips regarding them. As Dustin mentioned head into the fly shop for some intel.
