June 10, 2026

Salmon Region

Salmon River

Covers Jun 10–17

The Salmon River enters the week with elevated but falling flows. As water levels recede and temperatures hold in the low 60s, expect salmon fly activity to intensify and dry fly fishing to become increasingly productive toward midweek and beyond.

17,300 cfs ↓

South Central Idaho

Silver Creek

Covers Jun 10–17

Expect low water and bright conditions to dominate the outlook period. Flows will hold stable around 93 cfs with water temperature in the mid-60s. Brown Drake activity is winding down while PMD spinners, Baetis, and Callibaetis nymphs and duns become the primary focus. Terrestrials will feature more prominently as afternoon air temperatures warm.

92 cfs ↓

South Central Idaho

South Fork Boise River

Covers Jun 10–17

Stable flows and rising pressure create good conditions for the week ahead. Watch for salmon fly activity as temperatures climb, but have smaller dries and nymphs ready if the hatch hasn't fully developed.

June 6, 2026

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Box Canyon to Riverside

Golden stones and heavy evening caddis are fueling steady improvement on the upper Henrys Fork. Expect Green Drakes to emerge soon.

June 5, 2026

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Box Canyon to Riverside

The Fork is fishing well through Box Canyon as Golden Stones and Caddis take over from declining Salmonflies. Upstream sections have been variable, but rising fish reward early-morning focus on classic June patterns.

May 23, 2026

Panhandle

Saint Joe River

The Saint Joe is fishing well with robust flows and excellent hatch diversity. Salmon Flies and Golden Stones are present alongside a mix of smaller patterns that include March Browns, Yellow Sallies, Drakes, Caddis, and PMDs.

May 19, 2026

Southwest Idaho

Mountain View Lake

Mountain View Lake is fishing very well with leeches and chironomids the top patterns. Wind is the main variable to monitor.

Southwest Idaho

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Riverside to Ashton Reservoir Dam

Lower Henrys Fork is in the thick of seasonal hatching activity. Expect caddis and PMD spinner falls to drive the evening bite, with daytime action sporadic but present. Green Drakes should arrive shortly.

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

South Fork Snake River

High water at 13,200 CFS means using heavy flies like rubberlegs and jigs to reach holding fish in the deeper current.

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Teton River

Below-normal flows keep upper Teton sections off-limits, but lower reaches near town fish well on nymphs and streamers.

Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho

Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Riverside to Mouth

Strong insect hatches including Green Drakes, Caddis, and Pale Morning Duns make the Henrys Fork a reliable choice on June 5, with excellent fishing reported across multiple sections.

Owyhee River

Water temperature is running 69°F with flows well below normal at 21 cfs. Clear skies and light winds create ideal conditions for a variety of small fly patterns.

28 cfs ↓

South Central Idaho

Silver Creek

Public access opens this weekend with strong PMD activity and warming water. Plan early and late sessions.

103 cfs ↑

South Central Idaho

South Fork Boise River

Cold early-season conditions with subsurface feeding dominant. Main hatches building. Nymphs and small stones productive.
