Idaho Fish Report

Fish Lake is stocked with rainbow trout, tiger trout and Chinook salmon and fishing has been good. Brook trout are also available. Still fishing on the bottom with Powerbait continues to be one of the best options for shore based anglers, especially if water clarity is poor. A portion of the rainbow trout have external parasites called copepods that can be scraped off the fish prior to cooking. Fish parasites do not pose a threat to people when cooked properly.

With the lake cooling down with the recent weather trolling should begin to be better. Still target fish near the springs on the east of the lake and about mid water column. The reservoir is holding fairly steady at 52 percent full. The USFS boat ramp is usable and water clarity this past weekend was 4-5 feet.
