[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I had a few extra hours Saturday morning so I went fishing for the first time in over a month.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I first went to the Westside beach at American Falls Reservoir. I was just fishing with bait from the shore. Fishing was slow but there is opportunity to catch a large rainbow or two. From what I saw and caught, most of the fish were 17”-20” but there were a few larger ones. One I caught was even as fat as some of the Henry’s Lake hybrids. I will post a picture of one of the fish I caught when I get my film developed. Surface temp was in the upper 40’s. [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I also tried the river below American Falls. The river was very low (about 400cfs). After not catching a fish after 45 minutes I called it a day. I’m sure the river would have been better if I had put in the time to figure it out but the fishing on the river certainly isn’t red hot. The water was 50-51 degrees.[/size][/font]
