Fly Fishing Silver Creek Idaho
This is one of our favorite trout streams. It provides the
opportunity to catch a very large trout, but it doesn't
make it easy for you to catch one. When you do catch
one, you can be proud of it because you have done
something few can accomplish. In fact, many anglers
cannot accomplish catching any of this creek's trout.
There's a simple reason for it. The trout have already
been teased by many flies and most all of them have be
spooked a few times by other anglers.
The stream flows through the Silver Creek Preserve
formed by the Nature Conservancy. When you fish this
section of the stream, you are required to sign in at the
Conservancy headquarters building at the top of the hill.
The fishing is "Catch and Release" only.
There's also another area you can fish across highway
#20 from the Preserve. It is very similar to the section
inside the Preserve and has its share of huge rainbow
and brown trout. It has only one access located between
the highway 20 bridge and Picabo Bridge.
The water stays a constant temperature throughout the
year. It's currents are smooth and slick but very tricky. It
is very difficult to get a drag free drift. The changing
currents are not easy to detect or see. The bottom of
the stream is a solid mass of aquatic vegetation.
The stream's hatches of aquatic insects are huge. The
trout feed on most of them selectively. Matching the
hatch is necessary most of the time.
Seasons:
The season varies from the Preserve section and the
non-Preserve section.
Winter:
Closed Season
Spring:
Late Spring can be productive.
Summer:
Summertime is the best time for fly fishing Silver Creek
because of the numerous hatches.
Fall:
Early fall can be an excellent time to fish.
Fly Fishing Guide to Silver Creek:
The key to catching trout most of the time in Silver
Creek is to fish to one individual trout. (Click Here To
