The three forks of the Boise as Kodiak mentions are all good bets in a typical June. Key will be water levels this June given the huge snowpack still up there. Mores Creek summit had around 6 feet or more when I drove through last week. If the forks are too high still in June you may want to try the lakes which should have fairly stable levels by June. Lucky Peak and Arrowrock can be great from shore but it is mainly bait on the bottom fishing without a boat. Best areas with the most fish are off the rock slides with steeper drop-offs as opposed to sandy shores with gradual drops. Trolling should be excellent by mid-May for topliners and DR's later on in mid-June. Closer into Boise, don't overlook the main river above the Eckert Road diversion up to Diversion Dam adjacent to the cliffs. It's not planted like the rest of the river but has a few larger than typical bows and some monster browns as well if you know how to get a brown to rise. (present company not included) I've seen "large" browns roll in the evening while walking along that section and saw a five plus pounder come out of the hole right at the Eckert road diversion. My best bow in this section is 18" with a very prominent red band. A few whitefish hold just below the diversion dam as well. If its high water be careful. Probably won't be many tubers in June; just a few crazies daring the high water.
