Hello!
I am new to the forum also. First off, welcome!
Second, I am from North Idaho, and according to a map I looked at, there are many creeks and rivers in Kuna, Idaho. Indian creek to name one, which according to Idaho Fish and Game, there are rainbow trout and brown trout in there. I would go for the rainbow trout. They are fun. What you could use, since the river has current, is a small spinner lure with a split shot weight about two feet above it. If you are above the river, like on a bridge or something, just drop it to your desired depth and the current will move the spinner and attract fish. If you are not above the river, this tactic might not work.
Another thing you could try is casting in the OPPOSITE direction of the current from the shore with a hook and worm and a floater. No weight. Just cast it, let the bait slowly float down to the depth where the fish are, and they might bite and take the float with it. Once the float gets too close to shore by the current, reel it in. HOWEVER, if you are fishing in an area with no current, there is no need to reel it in every time. A part of the river with no current is where they tend to hang out.
Check regulations also. Those are VERY important.
Anyway, that is all the advice I can give at the moment.
Good luck!
