Trophy caught during the Brown Drake Hatch.

David T. Glasscock Idaho Angling Services Idaho Fly Fishing Report Guided fly fishing 208-788-9709 April 4, 2008 Silver Creek: The Creek is closed for the spring and will reopen Memorial Day weekend, May 24, 2008. Once the season opens, Silver Creek provides for some outstanding early season fishing. The trout have been rested for many months and can be easy to catch. The first hatches of the season are Brown Drakes, Green & Gray Drakes, PMD, Callibeatis, BWO and Midge. The month of June provides for some of the best fishing of the entire season! Big Wood River: The Wood River is also closed until May 24th. We have had a substantial snow pack this winter. The runoff from this snowpack will last into June. The river will be high and off color until June 1st and possibly longer. This all depends on the temperatures in April & May. Typically the runoff peaks around the first of June. The long range weather forecast is for a cool spring. This will aid in a slow runoff and to help with sudden flooding. Once the river drops and clears, we see the first hatches of the season. These are the Western Quills, Green Drakes and Yellow Sallies. Look for these near the end of June or the 4th of July weekend. Big Lost River: The Big Lost River below Mackay Reservoir is closed until May 24th. The releases for irrigation purposes usally begin near or slightly after the opening to the fishing season. The fishing before the increase flows can be very good. After the rise in water levels, the fishing slows for a week or two. After that, usually around mid June the large Golden Stones hatch. Then the PMDs and Little Yellow Stones. The fishing is very good during this period!   Idaho Angling Services, LLC  208 David Street Picabo  Bellevue, Idaho 83313  208/788-9709   info@anglingservices.com
