As you may know, my son and I are kinda new to fishing in Idaho, but we have been busy trying to make up for lost time.
Last year we discovered the smallmouth behind the American Falls Dam. After some trial and error we found a purple helgie to be truly deadly! We use a 1/8 oz jig head and fish around the rocks. You will lose a lot of jigs but that is the price you must pay.
Hope this helps someone. This forum has been an incredible resource for us as we learn about this great state and the many fishy waters it contains.
