New to Idaho!

If you ever get enough gas money head up to Island Park and float the Henry's Fork from the Big Springs put in to Macks Inn. It's a fun and easy float that your kayak would do well in. When I was going to school at BYUI I would round up some buddies and rent some canoes and the canoe trailer from the rec center on campus. We would split the gas/rental fees and it was pretty cheap per person. Beautiful float with good trout fishing using either spinning tackle or fly gear. If you do go to Henry's Lake, heed the advice given about the waves- they get scary fast. Keep an eye on the weather and stay near the shore. The cliffs always treated me well when I used my float tube although I had some scary experiences with waves in both tubes and boats. Respect that lake. McTucker gravel ponds west of Blackfoot by Springfield has some pretty decent mixed species fishing opportunities, but its about a hour and a half drive from campus. You can camp there and fish for bass, blue gill, trout, and catfish(although I never caught one there). It's perfect for a kayak. I know you asked for lakes but give the rivers in your area a shot. I wouldn't recommend kayaking them. The Snake is Powerful. The Teton River can be pretty decent for trout too. Good luck and happy trails.
