Idaho Fish Report

Aside from a five-pound tiger trout and an eight-and-a-half pound tiger trout, fishing has been very slow during the past several weeks. Most anglers have been disappointed because they have very few fish to show after a day of fishing. Aquatics technician Mike Ault suggests fishing at the mouth of the dam cove--especially on the south side. One angler reported good fishing until 10 a.m. when it became really slow. You should try using chub meat, but you may have success with fish eggs or nightcrawlers. Of the fish anglers catch, most of the cutthroats are 12 to 15 inches long and skinny, and the rainbows are 9 to 14 inches long. Last week, anglers reported slow or very slow fishing. Many anglers caught nothing but chubs, but a few shore anglers did catch one or two trout per hour.
