Idaho Fish Report

Fishing continues to be good for cutthroat trout, Anglers are taking a few lake trout, too. Those targeting trout are mostly trolling with minnow-type lures in water about 15–30 feet deep, either on flat lines with deep-diving lures or off downriggers with shallower running lures. The best spots are along the east side at Rainbow Cove/North Eden and along the west side from Swan Creek north to Fish Haven Creek. A few anglers have been jigging with tube jigs tipped with cisco or worms right on the bottom in about 60 feet of water off Second Point and Cisco Beach. The surface water temperature is about 51°F. You can launch at the marina and on both eastside boat ramps at First Point and Rainbow Cove. There are courtesy docks in the water at all locations. Remember, you must release all cutthroat trout that do not have a healed fin clip. Many thanks to Biologist Scott Tolentino for that report.
