  • Want to learn how to fish or fly fish the boise river in Boise, Idaho, watch this video to learn everything you need to know about fishing and floating the boise river. Next video I'll be boise river float and exploring the middle fork boise river and south fork boise river fly fishing. I've fly fished the boise river from the boise river diversion dam to the snake river through Star, Idaho.
    Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed!

    I almost always use 4x on the Boise after using 5x once and losing several flies. When nymphing below Eagle and around Star there are suckers that will break off a 5x tippet very quickly - there are some 24" suckers in there.

      I love this!!! Definitely agree bro, a 24 inch sucker will trick you into thinking it’s a huge brown😂 hate those things

    My biggest issue is finding water that isnt crowded or private property. All these Boise river guys post these videos of open water but honestly I dont see how you find it.

    Can u tell a natural fish from a hatchery fish

    • @FireflyFishing
      @FireflyFishing  2 роки тому

      It can be hard, but I can tell apart the ugly hatchery fish from the wild fish! Most young hatchery fish don’t have an adipose fin, but as they get older they grow them back. Most young hatchery fish have smooshed faces and stuff. Just ugly bugs, however as they grow in the river, they can “look wild” again.
