American Falls 7/26/06

[BrianID]

I was handed a skunk yesterday. Fished the beach by the Westside boat ramp. I was there a little less than two hours and was fishing with a worm/marshmallow combo. Water was 80 degrees in knee deep water and 86 in 6" of water. I checked the water temp at the boat ramp below the dam at 76 degrees??? I'll have to check the main current below the dam sometime because 76 degrees seems way too warm.

At least my girls had fun playing on the sandy beach. [cool] I might have to go back sometime in August so they can play on the beach more.

Anyone else fish American Falls Reservoir this summer?

I fish up there occasionally but not yet this year. What is the flow rate comming out of the dam? Is there a web site you know of where I can find flow rates for American Falls and/or other dams in SE Idaho?
