Fall Fishing in Idaho

idfg-vosborn

Anglers have good reason to say some of the best fishing in Idaho is in the fall. 

  • There are fewer people on the water.
  • Many rivers are running low and are more accessible.
  • Cooler water means fish become more active.
  • Fish and Game stocks ponds in the fall, once the water temperatures have cooled down.

For some anglers, fall is the reason to go fishing. Join Rick Kapala and fellow anglers as they enjoy the solitude and challenge of fishing one of their favorite streams in the fall.
