Idaho Fish Report

Trout fishing has been fair to good in the collection ditch though ice is forming.  There is ice in the south marsh and the dock is out of the water.  Leech patterns, balanced leeches, crystal buggers, #14-16 hare’s ears, and #16-18 PT nymphs and chironomids under an indicator are probably the best bet.  Other flies working include the usual small nymphs, olive soft hackles, red or blue copper Johns, and prince nymphs. A few fish have been taken on egg patterns.  Some of the best fishing reported has been on the days that were cloudy and windy.  Spin anglers should be using small spinners in black or olive with contrasting yellow or red colors.  On brighter days, gold or silver lures seem to work better.
