Southeast Idaho Fishing Report

In-Depth Fishing Report for The Snake River, Henry's Fork, South Fork of the Snake, Portneuf River as well as surrounding lakes and still waters of Southeast Idaho

Date 12/13/2025

Snake Below American Falls Reservoir:

 Currently sitting at 272CFS and the reservoir is at 35% full. Water clarity is fantastic and the fishing remains solid. Balanced leeches still sit at the top of the list but caddis, midge, and attractor style nymphs are getting a lot of attention with the small weather changes. With the temps staying warm the streamer bite has been solid as well.

South Fork Snake River :

Flows out of the dam are sitting around  898CFS. The river is in great shape and fishing well. Water is at its winter flow and low. Wade access has opened up and fishing the pools is the name of the game. Smaller nymph set ups along with rubber legs and leeches has been producing. Yet again with warmer temps we are seeing some late season dry fly action!

Henrys Fork:

Starting to look like winter up there. With temps dropping nymphing is the best route to take.  Small beatis, zebras, and other attractor nymphs should get the job done. 

Portneuf: 

The river is in great shape above lava. River has cleaned up and fish are eating streamers in olive and black. 

Bear River below Oneida:

The bear has been fishing really well. Below and the black canyon stretch. Clarity is solid and fish have been eating a little bit of everything. 

Still waters & Lakes: Most of our southern reservoirs are really happy. Leech bite is on and the temps are perfect. Fishing will remain solid until freeze.
