Southeast Idaho
The Bear River below Oneida has stayed consistent through spring with PMDs and caddis on the water. Fish are moving to newly fishable margins as flows ease.
Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho
Caddis and mayfly hatches remain steady with stone nymphs active along structure. Larger patterns may emerge as conditions warm.
Southeast Idaho
The Portneuf above Lava Hot Springs is in great shape with steady PMD and caddis activity and fish feeding on the surface.
Southeast Idaho
Slightly turbid water hasn't shut down the bite below American Falls. Higher flows make wading tricky—focus on the rocks near the dam or bring a boat.
Southeast Idaho
Slightly off clarity from wind, but fish feeding well. Lean on leeches, minnows, and larger caddis near the dam.
Upper Snake / Eastern Idaho
Mayfly and stone hatches are driving good nymph fishing on the South Fork despite elevated flows. Beaded nymphs and streamers are your go-to patterns.
North-Central Idaho
Strong steelhead numbers and clear weather make the Clearwater a prime destination this season.
Panhandle
Lower and canyon sections fish well at summer flows. Upper section requires solid nymph work but is fishable.
