Boise River, Middleton to Eagle Road

Flows are running below normal at 479 cfs as of August 19, with a rising trend underway. Afternoon heat is the real challenge—water temps shut down feeding by midday, so plan to fish early or wait for cloud cover to improve conditions. PMDs, BWOs, and small caddis are active, making heavy attractor nymphs and streamers fished tight to cutbanks and structure your best bet. Clear skies and high air temps (96°F) are forecast to persist, so adjust your timing and tactics accordingly.
