General Fishing Report

Things are getting pretty interesting in the valley. February's on the downslide and spring is creeping up quickly.

It's definitely time to start thinking about BWOs and Skwalas. As we get further along in the season we'll start seeing a lot more of both.

I've spoken with quite a few people who are starting to see the nymphs get active on the Owyhee. We're not far off! Usually things pick up around the first part of March, but days are getting warm and the big bugs could show up any time.

Likewise, now's the time to get on the South Fork of the Boise. Warmer, longer days are providing great opportunities to get into some decent top water action. BWOs are popping in good numbers on early afternoons. Look for these guys to overlap the Midges window.

If you need a change of pace, think about Steelhead. Conditions are starting to improve and fish are getting active. We've had several decent reports coming out of the Riggins area. It's big water but there are some great runs you can work on foot.

We've fished the Boise River through town a few times since the last report and the nymphing's been outstanding. Our best days have been spent up higher on the river (Barber to BSU) and we've picked up quite a few decent wild bows between the blanket of white fish.

Overall, it's time to get out and fish. Dust yourself off and get on the water. Have a great week of fishing!
