Idaho Fish Report

This large reservoir gets stocked annually with 20,000 hatchery trout. It will be stocked again this week with 7,700 trout. Look for them in cooler, deeper water and around ledges, drop-offs and underwater structure. Look for smallmouth bass near ledges and drop-offs as well as near underwater structure such as submerged logs. 

The reservoir is finished filling. At the moment, both Thistle Creek and Whitcomb boat ramps are available to launch boats. 

Kokanee, trout and smallmouth bass are all available. Anglers may keep up to 25 kokanee per day in addition to the 5-trout limit. 

Best bet for anglers without a boat is to drive to the top of the reservoir where Quartzville Creek enters the reservoir. Large trout will sometimes forage where the river brings in food swept down from upstream.
