Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

South Fork Snake River

Mutant stones are emerging on the South Fork with flows holding steady around 5,950 cfs. Early and late windows offer the best action for stone patterns.

5,860 cfs ↓

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Teton River

The Teton is running low with clear skies and warm temperatures; target deeper pockets and shaded areas during peak heat.

6 cfs

July 30, 2026

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

South Fork Snake River

Lower flows have eased access on the South Fork, but heat makes fish selective, fish early and late when hatches are active.

7,520 cfs ↓

July 24, 2026

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River

The Henrys Fork is steady and slightly below normal with clear skies and manageable flows for mid-summer fishing.

1,720 cfs ↓

July 23, 2026

South Central Idaho

Silver Creek

Stable conditions with clear water and near-normal flows make Silver Creek fishable but challenging. Expect selective, leader-shy trout and a need for precise presentation and accurate pattern-matching. The upper Preserve is more wader-friendly; lower sections favor float-tube or bank access.

110 cfs

July 18, 2026

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Box Canyon to Riverside

Flows have jumped recently, making conditions mixed across the stretch. Mormon Crickets dominate the bite alongside solid Golden Stone, PMD, and Caddis hatches.

1,480 cfs

July 8, 2026

Southwest Idaho

Boise River, Strawberry Glen to Barber Dam

Fishing stays consistent on the Boise despite summer heat and float traffic. Fish hold in deeper holes early and late; mid-day action shifts to shallow, faster water.

672 cfs

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Box Canyon to Riverside

The Henrys Fork is productive but winding down, with flows now manageable for wading. Caddis, PMD, and terrestrials dominate; seek cleaner water in select areas.

1,080 cfs ↓

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Riverside to Mouth

The lower Henrys Fork is firing for hoppers with stable flows and clear conditions. Fish early or late to beat the heat.

1,720 cfs ↓

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Lake

Henrys Lake fishes best early and late season with knowledge of spring locations and boat access. Key patterns include leeches, chironomids, and cocktail nymphs.

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

South Fork Snake River

The South Fork is stable and fishing well despite the big stonefly season winding down. Mutant Stoneflies and PMDs are worth throwing as flows hold above normal.

8,490 cfs

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Teton River

Low, clear flows and cool mornings make the Teton a prime technical fishery right now. Watch water temperature closely and focus morning hours.

3 cfs

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

South Fork Snake River

Flows have eased to 5,950 cfs, opening fresh wading water on the South Fork. Golden Stones and PMDs are active, but expect selective fish and plan your best efforts for low-light periods.

8,510 cfs

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Teton River

A strong emergence window featuring Pale Morning duns, Western Green drakes, Salmon flies, and Spotted Sedge caddis. Low flows concentrate fish in slower water.

No flow

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Riverside to Mouth

Strong Golden Stone action and stable flows make the Henrys Fork a solid choice right now, with boats reporting consistent daily results.

2,110 cfs

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Lake

Hot conditions have fish seeking cooler water at springs and creek mouths. Key patterns include leeches, scuds, chironomids, and damselflies.

Southwest Idaho

Mountain View Lake

Mountain View Lake is open with fish actively feeding on suspended patterns. Damselfly nymphs and leeches are the top patterns to start with.

Southwest Idaho

Owyhee River

Quality fish are being caught throughout the Owyhee from hot springs to the dam, with steady afternoon PMD hatches and reliable morning midge action.

116 cfs

South Central Idaho

Silver Creek

Silver Creek offers solid dry fly and streamer action, though fish are technical and demand long leaders. Tricos, midges, caddis, and terrestrials are dominant, with PMDs and Callibaetis still in the mix but fading.

103 cfs

South Central Idaho

South Fork Boise River

The South Fork is fishing variable, driven by dense hatches and selective feeding windows. Scale down fly sizes and try subsurface emergers when fish refuse the surface.
