Idaho Fish Report

The water temperature is starting to drop in Tenmile Lakes and some of the vegetation is starting to die off for the season, which means largemouth bass will be transitioning off the weedlines and moving to submerged wood or other hard structures.
Topwater lures are catching bass in the early mornings, late evening and in shaded areas during mid-day. Drop shots, jigs, and wacky rigged Senkos will produce bass throughout the day.
Anglers are catching yellow perch along the weedlines in 9 to 12 feet of water using small jigs or hooks with a worm. Yellow perch will start transitioning to the deeper mudflats in 15 feet of water or deeper. Most of the yellow perch are under 6 inches long.
Trout fishing in rivers and streams is open through Oct. 31. Trout fishing in the lakes is open year-round.
