tlspyder13 welcome to BFT's Idaho board,

I mostly fish Eastern Idaho but have relatives in the Boise area and normally bring along a fishing rod when I go over there to visit. One place that you might want to check out are the Wilson Spring ponds and drainage. They are right next to the F&G office in Nampa. There are a number of other urban ponds in the Boise area that are regularly planted. If you don't like to catch "planters" you could try some of the rivers in the area. I've heard good reports about a number of places along the Boise river but I have never fished it myself.

There are a number of places with perch in the area. Check the links below for info. The only place in the Boise area that I have caught perch is Cascade Reservoir which use to be a great perch fishery. The F&G are trying to bring back the perch fishing at Cascade and the perch fishing there may be worth your time in the future.

You might want to also consider targeting smallmouths and crappies on the snake river reservoirs.

Here's a link to a fishing reports for the SW region and McCall area. Even though they are old they will give you a good idea of what is available in the area.
