J.C. Boyle Powerhouse to State Line with California

 

Fishing should be good for small redband trout. Best fishable flows will be available in the mornings. Look for the various caddisfly, mayfly and moth hatches all day. The evening hatch has many fish rising to very small flies.

Fishing can be good depending on how flows are managed. Best fishing is when flows are less than 900 cfs, around 9 a.m. Flow estimates have started. Click this link to access PacifiCorp Weekly Flow Estimates.

Large attractor flies such and wooly buggers and rubber leg stoneflies work best. Large stimulators and caddisfly dry fly patterns can work well casted to the shoreline. Crayfish imitations are also productive. Olive and black wooly buggers almost always work well. Black spinners and Panther Martins can also work.

Below the JC Boyle Powerhouse the redband-rainbow trout get slightly larger than the aforementioned reach and average 12-inches but rarely exceed 16-inches. Currently, most redband caught are in the 10- to 14-inch range.
