If you made it to the South Fork Boise River near Danskin Bridge in the last couple of days you would have seen this heavy equipment and rock pile in the photo below. It represents the first step of the Pierce Creek Reconnection Project.
How’s the Fishing?
This website is the creation of fishing enthusiasts who have a conservation interest in the South Fork Boise. And we’re as interested as any in the fishing conditions. But the best information on fishing is to be found with local fly shops, businesses and message boards. Here’s a working list:

Dry Fly Fishing the South Fork Through the Seasons
The Ted Trueblood Chapter meets Wednesday, September 14 at the MK Nature Center behind the Idaho Fish and Game Headquarters.
The program for the evening starts at 7:30 pm we will have Nate Brumley, the owner of Dry Fly Innovations, an online fishing company out of Meridian, Idaho. DFI specializes in custom dry flies and fishing videos.
Nate is a native Idahoan, born and raised on the Salmon River, and he has dry fly fished the Northwest for over 40 years. That experience has led to the creation of over a hundred unique dry fly patterns that have been tested over some of the smartest fish on the planet with amazing results.
Nate’s presentation, “Season’s of the South Fork” is a unique look at dry fly fishing the South Fork. Hatch charts, cool footage, photos, and awesome dry fly patterns. It will give you the tools to fool a lot of big fish.
The meeting is at the MK Nature Center, behind the IDFG Headquarters Office, 600 South Walnut. A fly tying session begins at 6:30 pm with the regular meeting/program beginning at 7:30. Hope to see you there.
Waiting for 300 cfs
Word on the street, or should we say stream, is that the flow releases out of Anderson Ranch will drop to the minimum 300 cfs flows on or around September 15. You can keep an eye on our handy Current Conditions page, or access the other websites with the flow graphs. Specific date aside, we know for certain there is a lot of water in Anderson Ranch, and we it appears La Nina is Back — which could mean another year of favorable winter snowpack in the Pacific Northwest.
