You probably know there is very little. By the dam, only two, the boat ramp and the long stairs that come down from the campground. And at the end of the reservoir; Blacktail boat ramp. There might be some bank fishing at Blacktail. I'm not that familiar with Blacktail.
It has always amazed me that there are usually people fishing below those stairs. It is a long ways back up those stairs. But at the boat ramp there is always people fishing along the rocks. The kokanee fishing has sucked this year but you should be able to catch trout by the rocks.
When I was boat fishing a few weeks ago, we were up the arm of the reservoir that goes up towards the Tex Creek road. And a guy with us said you can get down to the lake from there along a creek bottom. Someday I will check that out.

I remember when they first planted Stripped Bass in Lake Powel and Lake Mead. I'm pretty sure they thought they would be sterile coming from the ocean. In the seventies they were catching huge Stripped Bass at Lake Mead, as long as your leg. But they found out they breed like crazy and they removed the limits you could keep, recommending people keep and eat as many as they wanted.
Stripers as Flytier said are a cross between White Bass and Stripped Bass and are completely sterile and need to be planted. I love fishing for wipers. They fight ten times harder than a Stripped Bass. I got my moniker: fast_randy because I would troll for wipers at Willard Bay in Utah with lipless rattle traps 5 mph. After taking several of my work buddies fishing they started calling fastrandy.

In the last two weeks the fishing for trout or kokanee has kinda sucked. At least for me. I hit American Falls, last year we killed the large rainbows trolling, this year we didn't get a bite. Then we hit Rire for kokanee, last year in August we got our 30 fish limit in 3 hours, this year; one 10" koke in 6 hours fishing. We had our dodgers and hootchi-momas right in the fish at 50 to 75 feet deep the whole time. They just wouldn't bite.
So I decided to try some river fishing. I caught a bunch of Grasshoppers and nitecrawlers and went up by Heise to fish the South Fork. There were people everywhere being Saturday, every camp spot or parking spot was full. But the river was full and raging. They are letting lots of water out of Palasades Resivoir. I only had one good bite on a worm and then he tangaled me up in the brush and i had to break off. And no-one had caught a fish that I talked to. Tons of drift boats also. Mostly flyfishermen. The ones that came by me, I asked and they weren't getting them either.
And my best fishing buddy camped at Palasades and fished for three days. He mostly just caught chubs.
Sorry I can't be of more help. I will try my grasshoppers on the Snake river here in Blackfoot and Firth this week. Or head back to American Falls and fish for Smallmouths. The SM bass should be biting.

Welcome to the site droark. Where in Idaho are you and what do you like to fish for?

If I was you, I'd want to fish the Green River out of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. You can rent a raft to flote the river at Flaming Gorge Lodge and arrange for pickup at Little Hole. An absolute beautiful flote trip. Or, there is a road that goes along the river down to Little Hole, a 7 mile trip. Then you can walk up the river fishing. You will see huge Browns and Rainbows in clear water. Artificial fly's or lures only.

Over here on the East side of the state I hear Rire is fishing good. They are 14" and you can keep 15 each.

Love that song. People are crazy. Is just me, it brings tears to my eyes. I always has. He must of been a lonely lonely man.

I agree with what most of you say. Waylon will always be my favorite, and I hate the new Nashville sound. But there is some great music still. If I'm not listening to a CD in my truck, I'm listening to Syrius Outlaw Station 60. Check out American Aquarium, a South East country band. There song "Tough times don't last, Tough Folks do!" is so good.
The Texas red dirt music led by still alive Ray Wylye Hubard and other singer song writers, Hayes Caril and Robert Earl Keen and tons of others puts Nasville to shame. Don't give up on good new country.

A chunk of fresh carp is my favorite channel cat bait. Great pictures. Thanks.

I'm not a fly fisher, but I see tubers killing it on Henry's Lake with fly's. I love Henry's. 5 pound Brookies and 10 lb.
cutbows.

To bad you you aren't out here in the west. Last time I was in Jackpot, Nevada I walked my dog up a dirt road up the hill and there was big chunks of black flint everwhere.

Welcome to the site Silver. I haven't responded because I don't know anything about your side of the state. If you ever get over here on the East side to fish Henry's, Rire, Blackfoot Res., American Falls, Chesterfield or Palisades let me know.

I was trying to use the In-fisherman tables on line for a while. You enter if you are fishing/hunting, then what fish you are after and then your zip code. But when I compared it to the printed two month version in my In-fisherman magazine, they were completely different. Now I don't trust either one.

Another picture.

I got my moniker fast_randy, from taking my work friends fishing for wipers at Willard Bay many years ago. I used to troll lippless rattle traps 5 mph, and they started calling me fast randy.
I have fished it a couple times this spring. It is a great fishing lake. The variety of fish there is amazing. Channel cats, wipers, walley, sm. Mouth bass, perch and crappie. We even got a brown trout last week.
We are targeting the walleye mostly but you never know what you will catch. We are using worm rigs and flicker shad crank baits. Trolling between 1.8 mph and 2.2.
