Welcome to the forum. I live in Idaho Falls also and have for 8 years. I have found good fishing in the area. Trout, small mouth bass, walleye, and kokanee are the species I chase. Most of my fishing is from a boat during the summer, spring and fall. There are a lot of places to fly fish if you're into that.
Ice fishing was really good last winter at Ririe Res. and they upped the limit to 15. I like fishing it because it's so close. Henry's lake is and excellent trout fishery but requires about 1 1/2 hr travel to the north. Blackfoot Res. and Chesterfield Res. are to the south and have nice sized trout. There certainly are some big Browns and Rainbows in the Snake below town, they bite best during their spawn. They are spawning right now.
Hope you enjoy your time in Eastern Idaho and if you have specific questions about fishing don"t hesitate to contact me through this forum
