About 70 miles outside of Boise Idaho is a place known as the South Fork. It is a part of the Boise River and it is here that you can find some very impressive fishing, especially if you are fly fishing. It is a home to some large trout. Most of the measure more than 20 inches. One of the main reasons is that many anglers fish the river as a sport, not to take home their catch. Therefore, they practice catch and release and the fish will continue to grow and reproduce.
Things to Know
The South Fork is a hidden gem. Mostly locals venture out to it. During the spring, water will rise, and you should stay on the bank or in a boat. During the months of April and May, there are some river closures that you need to keep in mind. At other times throughout the year, you can wade out into the river and perhaps get all the way across it, especially if you are planning to visit in September or October. At this time, the water will be shallow and the fish will be abundant. It is also during that time of the year when the temperatures are not too cold to enjoy a day on the water.
