Idaho Fish Report

Fishing for rainbow trout is possible, but may be slow. The reservoir was sampled at 16 locations in June. Black crappie dominated the sample and averaged 6- to 8-inches with a few around 10-inches, but nothing larger was captured. There were lots of little (less than 6-inches) smallmouth bass in the lower part of the reservoir with bigger largemouth above Fisherman’s Cove. A few channel catfish around 10 lbs. were capture, but most were less than 1 lb. The reservoir ranged in temperature from 69 to 76 °F and thick algae occurred from the airport to about Doe Island, the became less dense, although still present, up through Leslie Gulch.
