[quote pmrule]New to the area and I'm looking for a lake or river to fish this week near Ketchum. Is it too early for Alturas Lake? Would I have better luck somewhere else?
I'm don't fly fish (yet), so am looking for something basic to just relax and put my stick in the water for a few hours with a decent chance at catching something while I have a beer or two.
Not looking for any trophy fish, just a trout I can take home for dinner.
Any advice on the area?[/quote]
Alturas, last I checked (Saturday) was still most entirely frozen over. Petit lake however is free of ice, as is most of Redfish. However, trout stocking hasn't started. Not sure how you might do. I saw a local fishing Redfish last week at the inlet, don't think he caught anything though.
