Idaho Fish Report

Fishing forecast (December through April): Winter access is not maintained to Yankee Meadow Reservoir, so you may need a snowmobile, ATV or four-wheel-drive to get there, depending on snow conditions. Safe ice usually forms between early and late December and lasts until early to late April, about the same time that access opens up. Use caution: Be aware of best practices for ice safety. Ice fishing pressure is light, so you can often have the reservoir to yourself and enjoy good to fast fishing if you can get there. Rainbow, cutthroat and brook trout can all provide good success. Standard ice fishing tackle (ice flies, small jigs) work well.
