In-Depth Fishing Report for The Snake River, Henry's Fork, South Fork of the Snake, Portneuf River as well as surrounding lakes and still waters of Southeast Idaho

Date 10/23/2025

Snake Below American Falls Reservoir:

 Currently sitting at 300CFS and the reservoir is at 12% full. Water is at winter flow and will stay at this flow until spring. Water clarity is still off but cleaning up everyday. Fishing has been solid with balanced leeches, caddis, midge under bobbers. Dark colored streamers have been effective as well.

South Fork Snake River :

Flows out of the dam are sitting around  1517CFS. The river is in great shape and fishing well. Lots of great streamer action happening. Olives, whites, and golds have been the most productive. Walk and wade fishing at this flow can be productive on the lower sections.

Henrys Fork:

Water temps are getting happy again and the streamer bite on the lower river has been good. Look for some October caddis and BWO action. Warm river has been productive and Henrys lake has been heating up as well. 

Portneuf: 

The river is in great shape above lava. River has cleaned up and fish are eating streamers in olive and black. Still some good BWO hatches happening as well.

Bear River below Oneida:

Flows are perfect and the water clarity is a touch off. Smallmouth are still on the chomp and starting to see a few nice browns. Swing streamer in olive, brown/yellow, and black. 

Still waters & Lakes: Most of our southern reservoirs are really happy. Leech bite is on and the temps are perfect. Fishing will remain solid until freeze.
