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 4/10/2024

Snake Below American Falls Reservoir:

flows out of the dam are sitting around 7250CFS and the reservoir is sitting at 98%. The river is scheduled to jump again by the end of the week putting it close to 10,000CFS. These flows mark the end of wade fishing but open up new fishing opportunities. Clarity is still off but getting better everyday. Water temps are getting the bass to wake up and we are seeing more fish caught every week. 

South Fork Snake River : Flows out of the dam are sitting around 10500CFS and the reservoir is at 86%. With a large amount of water still in the hills the rivers are getting big but the south fork has been fishing well. Nymphing Rubber legs and various bead has been the most successful and should start seeing some hatches soon.

Henrys Fork: Still plenty of snow but warmer weather will make short work of it. nymphing the lower river with rubberlegs, worms, beatis, and hot spot nymphs has been good. Should see dry activity very soon.

Portneuf: River is way up and off color. Look to fish upper stretches with darker streamers along the edges.

Still waters & Lakes: Lakes south of town are opening up fast. Hawkins and Daniels are free but Hawkins is very off color. Expecting by first of may for thing to get really good in the still water department. Ponds in town have been stock and are fishing really well.
