This remains the most conveniently reaches stream in the area, whether above or below American Falls Reservoir. Above the reservoir water flow rates run about normal and midge activity provides the only top water fishing. Below the reservoir flow is minimal (currently about 250 cfs) at best making for easy access, but crowded conditions adjacent to the dam on downstream to the Monument access. Rainbow and particularly brown trout are active, so streamer fishing is the best strategy for action.
