Notes

USGS 13185000 BOISE RIVER NR TWIN SPRINGS ID
Water was perfect but try as I might, the fish were down. Maybe from the heat recently? Not sure what, but in places I usually catch fish as rapid as I throw, they were scarce that day.
Admittedly, the river has changed from the slides last year and I know the fish were there, but couldn't get them interested at all - top or nymphs.
