Idaho Fish Report

Last week fish were actively eating mayflies and caddis flies on the surface in the afternoon. Fish were caught casting lures but stripping flies could be lights out if you caught it right. Fish along any of the submerged weedbeds for success. Trolling lures or flies will also 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 haven’t been any recent reports on hybrid bass but fishing is usually hit or miss during this time of year. Fly-fishing during the evening hours was pretty good in July. Bait fishing for wipers 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 good bets for catching these fish. On sunny days you will need to troll deeper than cloudy days
