Idaho Fish Report

Hyatt is 47 percent full. Hyatt has a lot of legal-sized trout in it, so fishing should be good. Fishing power bait a couple feet off the bottom near the dam is typically a good early season strategy for trout if you are bank fishing. Holdover trout should be good size this year. The Cascade boat ramp is now closed. The Mountain View Ramp is reported to be open but low reservoir levels may make launching difficult. Please launch at your own risk, aquatic vegetation has been fowling props close to the ramp. Gates at the boat ramps may be closed before 7am and after 8pm, check with the BLM camp host for details. If you have a boat, it can be worth casting lures in the shallow section on the north end of the reservoir while the water is still somewhat up and the water is still relatively cool. Largemouth bass fishing could start getting good as temperatures start to warm up. Rubber baits on a jig head are quite effective near the submerged trees.

Reports of blue green algae blooming are on the rise. Please check the Oregon Health Authority website for updated information regarding advisories.
