Idaho Fish Report

The quality fish are scattered in the river above the Benton Crossing Bridge.?? A significant amount of larger fish showed up much later than was forecast in this area and if you do some walking and scouting it will pay dividends.?? The inlet section below the monument has better numbers of fish?Ķand fishers, but is your best bet for this area as conditions are good as of this report.?? A San Juan Worm as the upper and a crystal tiger or zebra #16-18 or a PT with some flash as the dropper will get you bendo in this section.?? Don't get crazy and use less than 5X tippet on these rascals.?? You will be in the penalty box after a break off for sure!?? The dip and strip method with a streamer is also effective here but you must check your fly EVERY cast.?? The free floating weed will become increasingly more of an issue as the water flows increase.?? Work the deeper sides of the river and larger pools if you choose to tug a streamer.??
