Wild Trout Blog

The Boise River Fishery began in March of 2007 as a means of gathering support for regulation changes on the lower Boise River. My objective was, and still is, to protect the river’s wild trout population and to create a quality destination for anglers. Since its inception, the site has expanded into a “Wild Trout Blog”. Photographs, information, and thoughts on fly fishing for trout and steelhead are now posted for the benefit of others who, like myself, are passionate about the sport.

Duh, I Am Spinning

What was the name of the town in High Plains Drifter starring Clint Eastwood?  Answer:  Lago.

Stillwater may be the best fishing option for the next couple months.

The Stranger Overlooking Lago
The Good
Major League Baseball season.
This year's snowpack.
Dry flies....  Still-borns, cripples, emergers, knock-downs, duns, spinners, anything on or near the surface.

The Bad
Springtime winds, especially when fishing stillwater.
Butler's field goal percentage in the NCAA championship game.
Owyhee River water management.

The Ugly
Charlie Sheen and Barry Bonds - just go away like OJ eventually did.
Your office guy who never walks anywhere without his ipod plugged into his ears.
Spring steelhead fishing for last year's summer runs.  Just say no.

Milt them for all they're worth.
