Idaho Fish Report
Fishing should be excellent!

This reservoir was stocked with 3,000 rainbow trout recently adding to the 4,800 stocked in April. Fishing should be excellent! Trolling lures or flies will do a great job catching fish in this clear reservoir. Bait fishing with PowerBait or worms is also a proven method for putting fish on a stringer.
There have been a couple recent fishing reports regarding hybrid bass, but they were stories about the one that got away. Bait fishing is usually more successful, but trolling can be an effective method. Rapalas that imitate tui chub and rainbow trout, favorite food sources for hybrid bass, are also good bets for catching these fish.
