Drift fishing both above and below Riggins is good this time of year. I've bank fished everything from Vinegar Creek down to Whitebird and have had good success swinging flies when the fish are in; the latest harvest report from F&G says now is a good time. Use the same philosophy as on the upper river but more weight and slightly bigger bait. Walking speed current will hold fish, and its not always way out in the middle. Don't waste time on snaggy holes cause there are a few but there are lots of great drifts from the bank through that stretch.
