[quote cpierce]I don't know how far from the Twin Falls area you live, but there might be some open "toon" water in that area. I don't know how really true it is, but I was told that the springs keep a number of places ice free in that area. I think that one was Clear Lake. The owners of Clear Lake have a $10 use fee.
Does anyone have any "sure" info on these waters? I am thinking of making an early spring run and check out the area myself. I have been in that area in the summer, but not in the winter.[/quote]
Actually the river from Twin Falls down to Bliss Bridge is all open water. Problem is most of that area is not worth fishing. Clear lake is officially owned by the company I work for. BUT! We don't get any free fishing because the Country club is operating it. I would not fish there anyway. Pelicans have ruined that lake. The Country club brought in Swans to drive out the pelicans but it didn't really work. 20 years ago Clear Lake was AWSOME!! Now it is not much of a place in my book. I could be talked into a trip from Lower Salmon A to Bell Rapids boat dock. That has some potential, not much but some. Ron
