Southwest Region Fishing Information

Yellow Perch : Fishing for yellow perch is excellent. Anglers are catching perch throughout the reservoir in about 15 of water. Use small pieces of cut bait and fish close to the bottom. The perch have been running about 10½ inches on the average but many fish in the 12-inch range are showing up. For folks with a boat, the Bruneau Arm has been producing some nice fish about 200 yards off the Cottonwood Access, the Snake Arm is producing some larger fish near the Cove Arm Dam. Bank anglers are catching fish in Cove Arm.
Smallmouth Bass: Fishing is slow. Tell folks to fish rocky shoreline areas that get direct sun, where the water should be the warmest, most of the day. Use plastic baits – tubes, grubs, etc. – in dark colors fished slowly. A few fish have been caught on crawdad-colored lures, but again, fish them slowly. When the daytime air temps hit 60 degrees for a few days in a row, the bass fishing should be a lot better.
