Here-Kitty-Kitty Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 So I'm heading to Meridian on 04-21-09 - 04-28-09 and want to catch some trout. I will be bring my fly rod and a spinning reel combo. I know that the seasons aren't open, but there are family waters that are. So here's my question, where, what, and when. Anything would help.

Wallydog Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Here,You can fish most of the Boise River with either set-up. Only problem that could crop up would be increased flows out of Lucky Peak Res. raising the river levels........have not seen a schedule, but traditionally they'll be up by the time you arrive making the river a little dicey to fish. What brings you to ID?WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here-Kitty-Kitty Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 My old ladies family is out there, and some of her family haven't seen are kids yet. So while out there I would like to get on some trout. Last time we were out there I got skunked. I even fished for bass, but only fished them for no more the 30 minutes. Hopefully this time will be different. I also have not a very in depth knowledge of fly fishing. I used to mess around with a fly rod, but haven't done any in a long time.

Wallydog Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Here,When it gets closer to your arrival let's visit this agian. I'll give a river report and possibly some other ideas.WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here-Kitty-Kitty Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 WD,So here we are under 48 hours away from touchdown, I am getting the itch badly. It looks like I might not be bringing the fly rod due to the fact that NorthWest is trying to charge $175.00 one way. Needless to say I'm not paying that, just to play in the water. So where is a god start to try fishing close to meridian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallydog Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 the river looks to be in fairly good shape. The corp has not elevated it yet.....I'm not sure of the schedule.I used to fish where Linder Rd crosses the river and done fairly well at the bridge or just downstream. Spinners or dunking a worm or salmon egg or powerbait ought work. There are multiple accesses from Linder upstream all the way thru Boise. I'd think there would be a little surface activity starting as our weather has warmed up dramatically.WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here-Kitty-Kitty Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 So I did a drive by last night with the father in law and looks like a nice play to try. So I'm about to head down there in an hour or so. Is there anything that works better then others or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallydog Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have not fished there in a few years. Cold water.......small spinners or maybe bait.WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here-Kitty-Kitty Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Ya I went down there and tried some small spinners, but caught nothing. I ended up catching one decent guy on a weight and floating trout bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
