Southfork Snake river help - kidsnme - 07-10-2003 I will be going to Idaho next weekend for a family reunion and i would like to do some fishing up there. We are staying at the Heise Hot springs. Is this a good area to fish? What is the best to use on the Snake (flies, spinners, ect.) Any information would be helpful.

[signature] Re: [kidsnme] Southfork Snake river help - Xman - 07-11-2003 i didnt have the regs memorized so i looked them up for you. 6 fish limit and only 2 brown trout or cutthroat in the aggregate. none under 16" these are regs for the water measuring cable in heise or dry beds area. there are a few exceptions on dry beds. and from measuring cable to palies.
