Snake River in Twin Falls Area

Brown trout are migrating throughout the river with streamer fishing the name of the game.

One thing with which we should be concerned is the quagga mussel infestation in the river around the Twin Falls area. Methods to poison these have been applied, but total elimination success is yet to be determined. Meanwhile, the river is temporarily closed to sporting activity, and a total fish kill has happened in the infested area. Why bring this situation up here? Simply because this infestation can happen anywhere. If you have fished this part of the river, wash your belongings ( boats, clothing, gear ) that have been submerged if you intend to use such to fish anywhere above Shoshone Falls. Certainly, we do not want these critters to be discovered in our waters!
