Idaho Fish Report

No change here as trout fishing in the collection ditch continues to be good depending upon the day and location.  Bass fishing is fair to good and picking up.  Trout are being caught with leech patterns, balanced leeches, crystal buggers, #14-16 hare’s ears, and #16-18 PT nymphs.  Other flies working include the usual small nymphs, olive soft hackles, red or blue copper Johns, and prince nymphs. On warm afternoons if you see insects hatching, switch to midge emergers, blue wing olive emergers as well as the usual assortment of dry flies including hoppers, elk hair caddis or yellow stimulators. Small brightly colored spinners were doing fair to good for spin fishermen. Anglers may now fish the water behind and downstream of the hatchery.  Please follow the signs for access and don’t walk through the hatchery itself. Boats with electric motors are now allowed on the south marsh. The boat opener was a bit slow, primarily due to wind.  Dark colored soft plastic grubs and worms with contrasting sparkle flakes should work for bass.  Colors include dark green, motor oil, black, purple and blue.
