Snake River at Freeman Park

It is the the best brown trout fishery in the area right now. There are several walk-in wade locations above and below American falls Dam, and much of the river is good water for boat fishing. Within the Idaho Falls city limits such places as Freeman Park have convenient access points. Pitching streamer patterns is the name of the game through using sink tip or intermediate lines. Placing flies in the right location is more important than pattern selection.
