Never too late! There are some really nice fish in there. I’ll definitely keep going back.

sorry for the late response scott. i was just going through some of your older stuff and saw the question. i fished from mackay dam down maybe a mile. i did see a couple of good fish though. most of what i caught were in the 13-14″ range

Hey Mike! Do you remember where you fished it? Nothing huge for me, but we’ve pulled plenty f 14″-17″ out of there, and a few bigger. We’ve also seen the 20+” cruising around in some places. I’m just amazed at how many good-sized fish come out of that relatively small river.

i fished it once before, nice little stream with plenty of fish to keep me content, nothing big though.

Thanks for dropping by Steve. We returned to the SF Boise this past weekend. My fishing buddy did a little research beforehand and informed me then that these beauties were of the redband variety. Thanks for the update. Yep, read your post on the fish in the snow. Good advice. If I had a net, I’d certainly use that instead. I missed a couple of nice shots trying to shoot them while in shallow water.

Glad you had a good time in Idaho. Nice site. Please don’t lay our fish in the snow (I actually just blog’d that topic if you care to read the reasons). Also, the SFB “cuttbows” are not hybrids but rather a rainbow dog of redband, McCloud, and probably other strains. Good fishing…

Thanks! Yeah, there are some real beauties in there. There was one I think I took (I mentioned I lost some of the RAW files I had) with some incredible purple/pink/red hues on the gill plates and beautiful white-tipped fins.

Bryan,

It’s been good to get back on the water. South Fork Boise this past weekend for three days was good too. Report in several days.

I loved your Lee’s Ferry report–Aaron sounds like an incredible host (love his blog!). The Apache Trout was a great catch. That’s one on my list of “Have to catch!”

When we fishing?
