As we get closer to fall, we look forward to some incredible hatches and great fishing; the fall Baetis, Mahogany Duns, Hecuba, and October Caddis will make this a memorable fall season on Silver Creek, the Big Wood, and Big Lost.
\nOn Silver Creek, the mornings have been seeing good numbers of Tricos and Baetis; the fish tend to get picky on one or the other, so if they aren\u2019t eating your Trico, try a small Baetis instead. The afternoon hopper fishing has been good with some wind, and the Calibaetis fishing has been excellent on calmer days. Don\u2019t forget about ants, beetles, and damsels. Being August, Silver Creek fish have been considerably tougher to fool, so bring your long light leaders and your best cast.
\nThe Upper Lost River has been fishing well, even with a few more anglers on the prowl. The fish are spread out and happily taking small attractor or large hopper patterns. Your favorite dropper nymph will take those fish that just won\u2019t come up and eat.
\nThe Lower Lost River is still on the high side. In a few weeks, fishing should really pick up. In the meantime, strong waders are having success fishing hopper\/droppers and various nymph rigs on the right water.
\nOn the Big Wood River, fish are eating Tricos in the morning and then hoppers the rest of the day. The hopper\/dropper technique, coupled with covering a good bit of water, will produce fish all along the Big Wood.
\nThe Salmon River is fishing extremely well with hoppers, Spruce Moths, attractor dries, and a variety of dropper nymphs.
\nThe South Fork Boise River continues to fish well, and flows remain floatable at 1250 CFS. There are large numbers of Caddis and Pink Alberts during the day, with Flavs, Caddis, and Pinks present in the evenings. Hoppers are the hot fly on the South Fork right now.<\/p>\n
