I’m taking a spur of the moment Fishing trip from Boise to American Falls. My buddy lives there and says he’s right on the Reservoir and I was hoping you guys can give me some Go To Places\>Either on the Res. or anywhere else.Small ponds creeks rivers, ice anything! I will be bank fishing and I’m bringing my Ice Rod, Fly Rod, and a few spinning rods…so what is close and productive over there? I’ve never been but I have a GPS. I’m not looking for secret holes or anything, but any other info would be great! I’ll post my catches if any and some reports for you! Thanks ---

If you are looking for soft water at American Falls the dam on the west side of the dam is a good place to start. If you want hard water drive 15 minnutes tords Aberdeen and hit big hole. Good Luck ---

Springfield reservoir can be fun. I believe it is flies and lures only. Very close to where you’ll be. Should be open water. ---

Hopefully this won’t be my only trip up that way\> I plan on making a big roundabout trip this summer starting over there and getting through Bear Lake and Utah and back around and try to knock a few new species off my checklist. My number is 949-9144. My name is Sean. I should be on a ride along Saturday till about 4 but if not this time\< next. Thanks for the help!
