Idaho Angler Fishing Report

Fishing Report - October 3, 2025

Fall has settled in, bringing improving fishing conditions across the state. Trout fishing in our local tailwaters (Boise River In-Town, South Fork Boise River, Owyhee River) continues to get better with cooler water temperatures and dropping flows. With Brown Trout spawning season approaching, please use caution when wading through shallow riffles and gravel bars, as this is where redds are forming. While fish are in the late pre-spawn stage, they’ll often key in on larger offerings such as streamers, crayfish, and leeches. Steelhead season is here to stay and we are ecstatic about the conditions that we are seeing this year!
