Idaho Fish Report

Water Conditions:

Flows are holdng at around 110 cfs, which is excellent.

Water temps are in the high 40's to with a little warming by afternoon.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Excellent

The recent warming trend has really improved what was already good fishing. The guides and customers who are on the lower O report great fishing from mid morning until about 3 daily, maybe even 4:00 pm on warmer days.

Nymphing has been pretty much the hot ticket with the fish not very choosy and some dry fly action comes midday. Midges come off early and baetis start about noon. Stripping streamers has been a little tough unless you get it down right in their face.

Baetis nymphs such as Harrop's Surface emerger, poxyback baetis etc. # 20-22.sz Wet Emergers, #22 Surface Emergers, #22 Hares Ears or Tan Bird's Nest. Dries: Small Para-Adams and Baetis Dry's.
