Eastern Idaho Fishing Report 7/14/23

Henry's Fork: The current flows out of Island Park are 1,370 cfs. Flows have increased recently due to irrigation demand and may continue to increase with the rising temperatures. The upper HF in the Box Canyon area has been day to day, one day it will be fishing decent and the next it has been tough. Nymphing is going to produce the best using a duracell or a dry dropper rig with a golden stone and a pt leggy aka "bowling ball" below. In the Railroad Ranch there are pmd's still going, drakes are pretty much done. Best fishing will be in the mornings on pmds and caddis, in the evenings with flavs. The Warm River-Ashton section is fishing okay. We are seeing caddis and yellow sallies. Using a dry-dropper rig should produce. A large chubby chernobyl pattern in gold or peach color will work for up top and then below you can try using an olive bullet #14, yellow sally nymphs, or olive hot spot #14. Fishing has been best in the mornings, tends to slow down in the afternoon. Flows out of the Ashton reservoir are 2,380 cfs. The lower Henry's Fork is fishing well. We are

Boise River & Owyhee River Fishing Report 7/14/23

Boise River In-Town: Flows in town are still high and fast, wade cautiously. Streamers and nymphing are the go to. Attractor style nymphs size 16 - 20, like fire starters and hares ears. Midge nymphs are a safe bet as well in black and red like zebra midges. Big articulated streamers have been finding fish in olive, black, and white. Woolley Buggers and Dungeons have been working well. South Fork of the Boise: Flows are currently 1,230 cfs. Still high, but floatable. Salmonflies are phasing out. Goldenstones have been spotted. A hopper dropper rig should produce. For droppers using a fire starter or duracell nymph will work or even using rubber legs for heavier nymph rigs will work too. Owyhee River: Fishing is really on! Prospecting the usual midge nymphs size 18-22. Hopper dropper is finding fish in riffles. Pmds and caddis really coming alive in the afternoon. Zebra Midges, Split Case, San Juan Worm for nymphs. PMD RS2, Stacked Hackle, Sparkle Dun, X Caddis for dries. Have fun and stop by TRR Outfitters in Eagle or call (208) 939-6065 to stock up on some flies, purchase your Owyhee fishing license, or book a guided fishing trip. Owyhee River

Boise & Owyhee River Fishing Report 6/30/23

Boise River In-Town: Flows are finally shaping up, they are currently at 1,320 cfs. We still do not recommend walk and wading. Streamer fishing has been producing a little bit, but not much. We should see another drop soon, when it gets to below 1,000 cfs that should be a great time to do some walk and wading using attractor style nymphs in size #14 and #16. Streamers in single or articulated patterns in olive, black and brown. South Fork of the Boise: Flows are currently 1,620 cfs. Hitting the banks with terrestrials (ants/beetles), stoneflies (salmonflies/golden stones), and caddis should do the trick. Owyhee River: Flows are currently at 191cfs. Primary hatches consist of midges BWOS and PMDs. Caddis are present to varying degrees as well. Dry fly opportunities have been good although still inconsistent, but they are there if you are trying to find fish looking up. Nymphing as usual remains most productive and streamers are always an option. For nymphs you can try using a voodoo midge #16 or #18, cardinal midge #16 or #18, holo-point jig in purple, or a split case pmd. Things are going to "a bit" busy this weekend, stay safe and have

The Warm River-Ashton section is fishing pretty good. We are seeing caddis and yellow sallies. Using a dry-dropper rig should produce.

Eastern Idaho Fishing Report 6/16/23

Henry's Fork: The current flows out of Island Park are 819 cfs. The upper HF in the Box Canyon area has been tough fishing, nymphing is going to produce the best using rubber legs and zebra midge patterns. Harriman Ranch opened on Thursday, June 15. We are still seeing salmonflies from riverside down through the mesa area. The Warm River-Ashton section is fishing okay. Using a dry-dropper rig should produce. A large goldenstone or salmonfly pattern will work for up top and then an olive bullet below. Flows out of the Ashton reservoir are 1,890 cfs. The lower Henry's Fork is fishing decent, everyday is a little different. We are seeing pmds, caddis, have seen a few green drakes, and a couple of golden stones have been spotted as well. For those fish looking up, using a pmd #18 or a caddis #14 are working well. If there are no fish up, a nymph rig should produce with a rubber leg and non-weighted pheasant tail. Play around with the depth but going deep has been working best lately. Feel free to stop by our Ashton Fly Shop for a daily report, 1051 Hwy 20 Ashton, ID 83420 208.652.3008, open

Boise & Owyhee River Fishing Report 6/16/23

Boise River In-Town: The Boise River in-town is still high and is unsafe to fish. South Fork of the Boise: Flows are at 2,400 cfs and finally floatable. Nymphing with perdigons and rubber legs have been producing. You can also try salmon fly patterns tight against the banks. There have been some caddis and blue wings hatching, it just depends on the weather. Owyhee River: Flows are great at 170 cfs. Primary hatches consist of blue wings, pmds, and caddis. The caddis fishing has been best in the afternoon. Leeches and streamers have been finding fish in the morning. Dry fly opportunities are starting to ramp up with fish looking up. Terrestrials (ants and beetles mostly) are finding fish as well. As usual, nymphing remains the most productive.

Eastern Idaho Fishing Report 6/2/23

Henry's Fork: The current flows out of Island Park are 1,140 cfs. We are seeing salmonflies flying on the lower sections. If you lift up rocks you will find a ton of salmonfly nymphs. A dry dropper should produce fairly well. Henry's Fork salmonfly #4 as the dry fly with a Pat's black rubber leg #8 or #10 below should do the trick. Don't be afraid to fish off the banks a bit. There are have been some fish eating caddis as well. Feel free to stop by our Ashton Fly Shop for a daily report, 1051 Hwy 20 Ashton, ID 83420 208.652.3008, open 7 days a week 8 am – 5 pm. South Fork: Flows are currently at 14,000 cfs. Nymphing is going to be the most productive with eggs, SJ worms, rubberlegs, and zebra midge variations. Streamers and leeches will also work. Water clarity is improving, the best fishing and conditions will be in the upper sections but canyon is starting to shape up. Stop by our Driggs Fly Shop 76 N.

Boise & Owyhee River Fly Fishing Report 6/2/23

Boise River In-Town: The Boise River in-town is still high and is unsafe to fish. South Fork of the Boise: The South Fork of the Boise River is open to fishing but flows are currently around 4,400 cfs which are too high to safely wade. Owyhee River: Flows are great at 200 cfs. Primary hatches consist of midges and BWOS. Caddis are present to varying degrees as well. Dry fly opportunities have been spotty but are there if you are trying to find fish looking up. Nymphing as usual remains the most productive (juju baetis in blk or purple #18 or #20, split case pmd's, olive and blk zebra midges) and streamers are always an option. Midge and BWO hatches should continue to increase in volume and become more consistent. PMDs should also start making more of an appearance as the weather heats up. Have fun and stop by TRR Outfitters in Eagle or call (208) 939-6065 to stock up on some flies, purchase your Owyhee fishing license, or book a guided fishing trip.

Eastern Idaho Fishing Report, 5/19/23

Henry's Fork: The current flows out of Island Park are 1,260 cfs. Fishing has started to improve but you will still need to dig deep and work hard to catch some fish. You are going to want to have zebra midge variations; black, red, etc., olive bullets #16, toddlers olive and black #14 or #16, and rubber legs. Seems like the best dry fly activity is in the early evenings (5-7pm) with peacock caddis. Streamers may also work in black & olive. Warm River is still high and a little off color but is starting to show some life again. A few salmonflys were spotted flying around the other day. I would be sure to have some salmonflys, March browns, and caddis on you for those fish looking up. I would also have some rubber legs and olive bullets. Henry's Lake has been producing. Small black or red chironomids, small black leeches, and large white articulated steamers have been working when stripped super slow. Be sure to stop by our Island Park Fly Shop for lake flies and our good friends at Drift Lodge to pick up anything you need for Henry's Lake. Feel free to stop by our
