Idaho Fish Report

Green Peter is about 25 feet above the toe slope of Thistle Creek boat ramp. The boat ramp is still closed but is scheduled to be re-opened by Linn County on Feb. 1. Turbidity has improved significantly, but the water is still a little off-color. This time of year, your main quarry will be trout and any kokanee that may have survived the unprecedented drawdown this fall. ‌

The reservoir is usually stocked with trout in the spring. Later in the spring and summer this reservoir also produces excellent smallmouth bass. Also, as a reminder to anglers, fishing for and harvesting Chinook in the lake and the rivers above is prohibited. Any Chinook caught in Green Peter reservoir must be released unharmed. ‌
