Fish Bites: July 25th

Just in time for you to get ready for the weekend ahead, we here at ANGLERS Fly Shop bring you Fish Bites. Not another bloated, out-of-date fishing report, just a few of the most important, need-to-know updates on #BoiseAnglers favorite local fisheries.

Everything you need to know, nothing you don’t. Here we go:

South Fork Boise River

PINKS! Pinks are going off and the fishing has been lights out! Still at summer flows of around 1200 CFS so a daunting wade, we suggest making friends with someone with a boat/raft. Come ask us about our favorite pattern #theonefly . Not to mention, below the dam is coldddddd so a great option with our recent run of weather.

Boise River In Town

We’re not going to tell you what rock to stand on, but, there are PMD hatches going on at select spots on the river, so go enjoy that rare dry fly opportunity on the Boise. Getting warm so be kind to the fish and fish early,.

Owyhee River

Another fantastic option for cold water and responsible fishing. The usual suspects: small split-back PMD and zebra midges benath, run a hopper up top.

High Mountain Lakes

It’s time! This is the time of year to beat the heat, break out the trail shoes and hit your favorite high mountain lake. The fish generally aren’t picky so you don’t have to be either. Pack a lunch and get up there!
