| Conditions
: Bruneau River - Flows are very low and fishing is poor. Fish are occasionally hitting dry flies and with the low flows, fishing nymphs is almost impossible except in the pools and spring heads. Hoppers, yellow stimulators, yellow or tan elk hair caddis, ant and beetle patterns should all work where fish can be found. Expect poor fishing here due to low water all summer. As of September 30, the Bruneau River was flowing at a low 3.5 cfs well below the median of 16 cfs. Reported by: NDOW |
