Early September afternoons are warm on the lower Boise, so fish mornings. Nymphing small dark patterns and crawfish flies works best as flows settle through fall.

Morning fishing beats afternoon heat on the in-town Boise. Stable flows and cooling evenings bring PMD's, BWO's, and Caddis, hit structure with nymphs and streamers.

Morning and evening fishing is productive on the Boise River right now, though afternoon heat keeps fish off the feed. Focus on early and late hours when hatches bring smaller fish up, and use nymphs and streamers during the slower midday periods.

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.
