This report is a little late. I am posting this because i read a report at a local sports store that said not to even try fishing here. I did and found it not to be that bad although it is far from great. I arrived at my hole around 2pm, the road were slushy so it toke a little longer. It was raining fairly good which was making the fair amount of snow on the river bank kinda slippery but i managed. The water level wasn't bad at all considering that the lake was flooded. The water was relativity clear as well. During my 2 or so hours of fishing i managed to get 7 fish to the shore. They were average size except for 2 very small ones(3 to 4 inches). As i am fishing my last bait the rain starts to pick up. As I'm about to call it quiets i hook into this decent sized fish for a nice finish. Not the big rainbow i wanted but enough to make the last trip to Idaho of the year worth it. I will return once i renew my really expensive license(out of State).

Great picture, there is nothing more beautiful than fish on snow. Thanks for the report.

Looks like a nice cutty to me... I hope that fish wasn't laying on the snow for too long. Nice fish
