American Falls - fast_randy - 02-29-2020

Hi welcome all to the new BFT. I fished Aberdeen, at AF res. on Wednesday.  Still over 1 foot of clear ice. You need ice cleats. Fishing was slow for small pearch. I never seen anything else caught. I am going to try by the dam on Monday for some trout. Maybe small mouth.

You're welcome Curtis. Good to see the new site up. I made it to the dam today. No one else there and I never did any good.

Well that's too bad, about not catching anything, hows the ice holding up Randy?

RE: American Falls - fast_randy - 03-04-2020

Ice is great. A foot at least. It won't last long now. I left after 3 hours of no bites because I wanted to try for some small mouth at Seagull Bay. But that area is closed in the winter. I have a new (used ) boat I want to get on the water. A 2013 Lowe with a 40 hr. Merc. And front trolling motor.

RE: American Falls - wiperhunter2 - 03-05-2020

Nice, glad to hear you got a new boat Randy, how long is it?

RE: American Falls - fast_randy - 03-05-2020

It is 16 feet. I just licensed it today.

Thanks for the report Randy! So glad to see some action on the Idaho board.  Smile

Do you know when Seagull bay or Willow bay open and when you can launch from them?

Willow bay is open. Just Seagull bay closed.

I guess that means the dock by the dam is still iced in ?

Thanks,
Scott

RE: American Falls - prvrt - 03-12-2020

I heard there is around 10 feet of open water by the dam.

OK...Thank you

RE: American Falls - prvrt - 03-13-2020

You could put a boat in at the dam as of today.

Anyone know if the docks are in the water at Sportsman's?

RE: American Falls - fast_randy - 03-19-2020

No the docks aren't in yet. No ice in site.
At least not at the dam. I didn't get down to Sportsman.
