Trust me, there are Bull trout in the reservoir but in general, I believe that they're much more plentiful in the S. Fork up above Featherville. I also think that while they are certainly still an endangered species in some Idaho drainages, after catching 8 in one day last summer, I have my doubts about them truly being endangered in the upper S. Fork of the Boise.
Here's a pic from a few years back that I took at Anderson Ranch of a fairly large Bull trout that I caught. I know that technically and more important legally you're not supposed to even remove them from the water but I couldn't resist the photo op. I did take extra time to revive the fish and it swam away briskly after I was done taking this one picture, in case anyone is wondering.
I was just up at Anderson last weekend and surprisingly it is already nearly full. I didn't catch anything but also didn't spend much time there. The catch and release fishing in the river below Anderson dam afterward was excellent however.
