Warm Water Fisheries, August 22nd, 2023

There is a very interesting article in the News Release section of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s website. It is titled “Smallmouth Bassin’ on Ririe Reservoir.’ From reading the article, it looks like the “smallie” population is doing well in the reservoir. There are established smallie populations in the Snake River below American Falls and in some of our irrigation reservoirs to the southeast, but these are a bit distant from the upper valley. That is not the case with nearby Ririe Reservoir.
