Hey Everyone,
My name is Evin. My folks just moved to the Council area off Hwy 95, SW of McCall. My dad has been up there for a few months now and I am helping my mom move up at the end of the month. It will be a short weekend trip so I won't have a lot of time, but would love to get some fishing in. Their property is right along the Hwy and next to the Weiser River, so I can walk to that.
I suppose I am just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. We do not have any ice fishing gear. I am from california and do not have much experience fishing freshwater in the winter conditions. Would fishing the river be worth it? If so, what works best? Lost Valley Reservoir is not far away, how is that in the winter? Any other options?
I fish a ton of saltwater year round down here in southern california. I fish a lot of largemouth year round as well and know my way around trout fishing and have done a decent amount up in the eastern sierras. Don't have too much experience fishing creeks/rivers for trout or any other spices but I have dabbled. Maybe that helps give an idea what might be the most productive for me and the short time I have this trip.
Looking forward to longer future trips, just don't want to waste an opportunity.
Thanks in advance.
