Why waste your time with Riggins when you've got the Clearwater River much closer to home? Besides, the Clearwater is world famous for it's huge B-run steelhead and plus spring and fall salmon runs. The Clearwater, between Lewiston and Orifino, along Hwy 12, has an incredible amount of river access for bank fishing. Next time you're in Lewiston stop by Camp Cabin and Home and the guys there can give you up to date advice as to where to fish and what's hot. And yes, you can fish them with a spinning rod as long as it has some backbone [not ultralight]. It won't be long before catch & release season will start so nows the time to talk to local folks and businesses and scouting out the access points that you'll want to hit. Moving to Montana [unless it's the east side] doesn't have to be a deterrent to continued fishing on that prime water. I know of several MT guys who come over frequently for the fun and excitement.
BTW August and September are prime months for the fly flickers but most are using spey rods.
