Idaho Fish Report

The water level in Green Peter is about 48 feet below full pool and dropping slowly. Only Thistle Creek boat ramp is available to launch boats, as the water level has dropped below the toe slope of Whitcomb Island boat ramp. This is a great time of year to target trout and smallmouth bass in the reservoir. Focus on areas with structure, such as drop-offs, ledges, and downed wood, to increase your chances of success. Fishing is best either very early or very late in the day.

The reservoir is usually stocked with trout in the spring. In the summer they retreat to deeper water where it is cooler. 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.
