The South Fork of the Boise River closes up march 31, so get after it while you can! It will reopen on Memorial Day Weekend. Warmer temperatures will make Blue Wings Olives and Midges come out a little...

We are still deep in the terrestrial game. Use big Chubby Chernobyl’s, Ants, & Grasshoppers. In the afternoon, we are seeing a good pink hatch. Later in the evening, Caddis is the name of the game. If that’s not working or you want to try a dry /dropper rig tie on rubber legs, prince nymphs, or...

East Boise has had good results on PMD’s and Caddis in the morning & in the evening. You can also try Streamers; using a sculpin or leech. In the nymph game give big bead heads a try. Boise River Real Time Stream Flows...

CFS 849 – Flows are starting to drop which is making for some great wade fishing throughout town from highway 21 all the way through Eagle. People floating in rafts and tubes from Barber Park down to Ann Morrison Park make for some tough fishing battling the rubber hatch, so try...

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...

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...

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...
