CFS 1820 – The river has been fishing great from Tailwaters to Danskin Bridge. The salmon flies have tapered off, but fish are still looking for those bigger bugs. The best tactics with the high flows have been pounding the banks with variations of chubby Chernobyl’s in sizes 8-12...

Hatches have been pretty slow since the flows went up. Nymph fishing along with streamer fishing will be your best bet till bugs start to come out. Midge patterns and BWOs will do the trick in mornings and evenings. Should start to see Salmon flies, golden stones, and cicadas in the next couple of...

Went and spent a day on the South Fork over the weekend with a few friends and managed to pick a great day to be on the water. The weather was as good as you could ask for being a February day. Started off in the morning in the mid 30's and worked it's way into the mid 40's by late afternoon. Light...

Fished the lower river below Eagle and all I can say is I am glad it was a nice day because the fishing was just that fishing not catching. I searched out some water that I had not ran a fly through before in hopes of finding some new glory holes. Can't say that I hit gold but I can say that there...

Well lets face it we are into the time of the year when you might pick the right day to have been on the river and you might have picked wrong. Although with the weather we have been having this winter good fishing or not I don't think it is probably a bad decision to be on the water. With that...
Boise River
Spent about half the day yesterday fishing some of the lower river through Eagle. We have been having some pretty awesome weather this winter, and it has made for almost a spring feel out on the water. If you are going to hit the Boise river in town you should focus your efforts on nymphing and...

Well now that the steelhead madness is gone you can focus back on the resident trout that call the Boise river home. The Boise river is a great nymphing river so if you rig up a wooly bugger and drop a small midge, caddis, pheasant tail, or hairsear you are more than likely going to find fish. If...
Boise River
Spent the day on the South Fork yesterday and it was a great day to be on the water. There were a fair number of BWO's out starting around noon and picking up some until about the 3' o'clock hour. There were fish up on them but very sparatic and mainly smaller fish. With that said between the three...

Been hitting the river for a few hours each day. I have found that small trout nymphs such as prince, pheasant tails, and hairsears have been taking fish the past few days. Sizes #14-#16. Makes for a tough land but I think you will find yourself hooking up a little more if you run some standard...

Went out for a good part of the day chasing the chance at some stocker steelhead. Hook a few but unfortunately nothing came to the net. But the beauty of being on the Boise is we still managed to touch a few trout. Over all fishing was pretty slow today. A few BWO's out and some midges. As far as...
