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 10/11/2025

Snake Below American Falls Reservoir:

 Currently sitting at 360CFS and the reservoir is at 5% full. Water is dropping fast and will hit its winter flow in the next week or two. Water clarity is still very bad with the reservoir level being so low. Things should clean up over the next couple weeks and the early streamer fishing is always good.

South Fork Snake River :

Flows out of the dam are sitting around  2999CFS. The river is in great shape and fishing well. Lots of great streamer action happening. Olives, whites, and golds have been the most productive. 

Henrys Fork:

Water temps are getting happy again and the streamer bite on the lower river has been good. Look for some October caddis and BWO action. Warm river has been productive and Henrys lake has been heating up as well. 

Portneuf: 

The river is in great shape above lava. Still plenty of vegetation but should see that disappear over the next few weeks. Olive streamers, scuds, and a few fish still looking up for hoppers.   

Bear River below Oneida:

Flows are perfect and the water clarity is a touch off. Smallmouth are still on the chomp and starting to see a few nice browns. Swing streamer in olive, brown/yellow, and black. 

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