Visiting Bosie

[kansasrockchalk]

Trout fishing in the Boise river down town can be very rewarding. You just have to find the right holes by exploring, big fish are pulled out a lot. Much of the trout fishing is a little slow right now because we had a late heat year so many of the rivers close are still running very high. Fishing with a spinner rules out the South Fork of the Boise, you could do the middle fork up above arrowrock dam but that is about a hour and 20-30 from downtown. You could also go over to emmett and fish below black canyon dam. There is the owyhee in eastern oregon which has tons of really nice browns but then you need a fishing license for oregon.....as well as idaho if your going to fish in and around boise. There is horsethief and cascade reservoir's about an hour and 20 out of Boise. Horsethief has been hot all year for trout, but cascade has not turned on yet but it should soon. Finally, there is the sanke river between CJ strike and swan falls dam, I have not been there this year but there is some good trout fishing always near grandview and tons of catfish if your into that.

Maybe someone will chime in on the payette rivers because I don't fish those much.

BTW, no salmon fishing in and around Boise.
