any where in the snake below shoshone falls has them but here are holes where they seem to congregate. Below lower salmon falls dam in hagerman, alagator hole in buhl, thompson, cabin, jet, pump hole below bliss dam. below the dam at strike, below the dam at swan falls, and any of the holes below hells canyon all hold fish and i have caught fish at each of them.

as for bait it depends anywhere below strike crappie heads work good, blue gill heads too. a good old night crawler works well some days but my absolute favorite bait is pickeled herring that i get at winco or freddys and tie onto the hook with thread.

some time this summer we'll have to meet up and ill take you out. this goes for anyone im always looking for fishen buddies

i see them jumping in warm water up the snake at strike pretty often and see regulars catch them in the deep holes. it sounds like someone did a cannonball off a high rock. not a carp. ive seen a few jump within a 100 feet in front of me at 60+ mph and it scares the out of me. my 186 versus an 8 to 10 footer at wot would be ugly for both of us. most people use used pickled herring for them.

Sounds great. Do you know when the water lowers by auger falls? Ive been wanting to fish there lately but i cant cross the bridge and its a long walk from the twin side.

two weeks ago till wed of last week it was low enought and i got down there a few times and got into fish but ya the river is a bit scary right now. for some reason i and a couple of buddy's decided that we were going to make it down there on the Jerome side come hell or high water and we did it. I will NEVER EVER do that again but it was an adventure to is for sure. as for when they drop the river i just watch http://waterwatch.usgs.gov/new/?m=real&r=id&w=map and when the river gets below 6000 CFS (i think) you can get across the bridge. i plan on goin and taking a look today or tomorrow ill post up what i see
