Hi everyone, I'm new to the board and Idaho in general. This is my first post[bobhappy]
Fished Oster lakes a few days ago. Couldn't get anything to hit on a fly (mosquito, olive bugger, dave's hopper). Friend caught on spinning reel. We fished lake one due to having no clue where the other 2 lakes were.
Fished the stream by the hatchery and no luck at all.
Had a couple golden's rise and swirl around an olive wooly bugger but refuse it. One trout swirled a #18 mosquito but again nothing. The guy fly fishing by us caught one, but I didn't ask on what. The trout where also hitting pretty sluggish on the bait.
Fished smith spring's about a week before that. Someone in my group caught a trout on worms, and I fished a black/red wooly bugger. Ended up landing a huge 5lb trout on the fly rod... That was a blast, and were not as used to fish that size in california. I also loved the look on the peoples faces who were laughing I was using a fly rod, and the comments like "he couldn't have been out very far... I wonder if a spinner would work". Truth is, I was out about as far as they could have casted their spinning rods.
Anyways, that's my report.
I'm actually really tired of haggerman and the people it attracts, but don't know any places closer to Rupert to catch trout. So if you do, please feel free to help out![fishon]
