South Idaho Fishing

[Belasko]

We've got you covered. Most the fishing here is for trout. If you're a purist it's fly fishing for trout. There's rivers, creeks and lakes to choose from. If you research past posts for this area you can pretty quickly figure out where some bass fishing is but most of them are smaller unless you get below American Falls reservoir. There's some big fish in the snake. The south fork is best known but the Henry's fork is just as good if not better in my opinion. Then there's island park reservoir and Henry's lake for some good size trout from lakes about 1-1.5 hours north of town. Island park also has some Kokanee but most people targeting those here go to ririe reservoir which also has trout, bass and perch plus it's only 15-20 minutes from town. In the winter the Henry's fork can have some good winter fly fishing. For ice fishing Henry's gets most the talk from thanksgiving to January first when it closes. Close to town most go to ririe on the juniper side (by the dam) if the weather is cold enough to safely freeze it. Many also ice fish island park but it's often messy due to rising water all winter. Some will ice fish American falls for trout and perch but the last few years there's been little talk of that one. Hopefully that will get you started but feel free to ask more details once you have a better idea on where, how far and what you want to target. Idaho Falls is a great town but very different from four d elene
