Tips for a new fisherman in sw Idaho
#9
I have never caught a trout down there, but it is not the kind of place I'd go to target trout either. SF is a better catfish and bass fishery than a trout fishery (although there are obviously some there).

Carp are difficult to catch. I don't know of anyone who catches them consistently. Most of the time carp are caught by accident. My experience is that worms work better than anything else for them.

If you are just wanting to catch some larger fish, I'd focus on the catfish. There is a pretty good population of cats down there. Use worm or cut baits. Fish them on or near the bottom. If you don't get anything in about 10-20 minutes, try another hole. There are lots of them down there. I'd try to get my bait on the seam between the current and the eddies.

There are likely others that could give better advice than I can. Good luck.

P.S. I also live in Kuna (kind of).
