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...

The steelhead season on the boise river in town has begun. Outside of battling the crowds you will find success nymphing glow bugs or any egg pattern. I throw a tandem rig with a glow bug and a psycho prince. You can also find success stripping and swinging streamer patterns. If crowds aren't your...
