Idaho Fish Report

The southern section of the aqueduct has consistently produced for all species over the last several months, but the action slowed a bit last week. Striped bass ate split shot garlic nightcrawlers, and lugworms tossed right into the current after the gates. Line sides also picked up cut baits and jumbo live minnows. Anglers throwing artificial baits fooled jail birds during the cooler parts of the day with jerkbaits, rattle traps, and Flukes. Catfish ate dip bait, fresh shrimp, and cut baits off the bottom on the Carolina rig, and bass anglers used drop shot 4 inch worms in various colors to fool fish in slower moving water. Eddies and outtake grates have been a good place to look for largemouth. Bass also took poppers first thing in the morning.
