Hi,
I've been a lurker for some time, but I thought it was about time I signed up. I'm one of those evil Utahns, but I'm practically in Idaho. In any case, I'm pretty new to the area, and am still searching for some nice trout streams in the vacinity. Does anyone have any info on the Cub River or other streams in southeast Idaho? I've found some good stillwaters, but I'd really like some more moving water besides the Logan and Blacksmith to fish. Thanks.

I fished the cub for the first time last year and caught a few planter rainbows by the campground but it wasnt terribly hot, that same trip I caught a few bass on the bear below oneida but for really good stream fishing I think your going to have to drive a little further but im from Idaho Falls so im not an expert on southern Idaho fishing

I do plan on checking out the narrows soon. I grew up in New England, so smallmouth in a river sounds pretty great to me. Has anyone fished any of the streams up by Soda and Montpelier? I'm really curious about those ones for later this summer. I really like small streams that aren't the go to place in the area.

Welcome to the forum. We look forward to hearing from you often. People will be more likely to discuss small steams through PMs. It is a free world and people can discuss what they want on this board as long as it is fishing related, but a lot of people just feel more comfortable discussing small streams in PMs.
I myself do not have any information on small streams in Southern Idaho. I am also looking for those areas for my young boys and their 3 weights.

i havnt been up the narrows yet but right behind the damn is usualy pretty good for browns this time of year, last year i landed 3 that were over 20 inches, i dont think one of them went over 2lb, thin sense they were spawned out, but a good fight none the less. the walleye will be heading that way soon also, followed by the smallies.

if you hit cub river at the camp ground the opening week or during the deer season the brook trouts are in there, i have gone in there and had 100 fish days before noon, but they leave pretty soon after the season opens they are kind of difficult to find sometimes also you can pm me if you are looking for more info.

Cool, I've been wanting to find some brookies. I heard there used to be some up in Beaver Creek up Logan Canyon, but they're just about gone now. That's good news. Fall is definitely my favorite time to fish a stream, so I'm looking forward to it. Sounds like I'll need to be hitting Oneida soon too. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I figured people wouldn't want to divulge too much on the small streams on the public forum, but I would be very appreciative of some PMs on it. Hopefully I'll make it out soon and have something to report, this winter is killing me.

Thanks. It sounds like I'll have to be head up that way someday.
