Idaho Fish Report

The Main and Island Resort boat ramps are closed due to extremely low water levels. Hand launching non-motorized watercrafts from shore is possible, but can be challenging in areas due to shallow conditions. Hand launching may also require anglers to walk some distance to reach the water, particularly north of the Island Resort and in the Wallsburg arm. Deer Creek State Park asks anglers to launch and use the reservoir at your own risk. The reservoir was stocked with close to 3,000 rainbow trout on Nov. 8 and trout fishing is good to great. Several shore anglers report high rainbow trout catch rates using worms and trout dough bait. Garlic-scented and corn-scented dough baits seem to be working best. The reservoir is open water with no reports of ice.
