Hello guys!
I'm from Utah, and will be up in Boise this weekend. I going to get a daily ID fishing license, and try the Boise River. I won't have time to drive far from my downtown hotel, so I want to just hit the river through town in my waders with light spinning gear.
Are there any stretches of the river that you would recommend or avoid this time of year?
Thanks!
Nate

The only unfortunate thing at the moment is the flows just came up about 2k and they will come up even more because they are going to let more water out of lucky peak.

Make sure you check the streamflows. They have been messing with it the past few days.

Senko,
Im sorry that I do not know which pond would be good.
here are a few descriptions.
Settlers Park Pond: An easy to access fishing pond in a park setting with park facilities nearby. Located at the northeast corner of Meridian and Ustick roads.
McDevitt Pond: Provides fishing in a park like setting. Located on the corner of Eagle and McMillan Roads in Meridian.
Merrill Pond: An attractive, well stocked pond in Eagle next to the Greenbelt and Merrill City Park. On Eagle Road just north of the Boise River turn east on Riverside Street, then right on Shore Drive.
Riverside Pond: Tucked in the trees off Glenwood Road and offers good bank fishing. Located on the corner of Glenwood Road and Riverside Drive.
Veteran's Park Pond: Along the Greenbelt and a short walk from a playground and park facilities. This pond sits at the back of Veteran's Park on the corner of Veteran's Parkway and State Street in Boise.
Quinn's Pond: Off the beaten path and popular for fishing, swimming and non-motorized watercraft. To get there go west on Main St. Turn north on 29th St. and go 3/10 of a mile and turn west on Pleasanton. Go to 31st Street and park on the left. Follow the Greenbelt to Quinn's Pond.
Park Center Pond: A popular fishing pond easily accessed from Park Center Boulevard just east of the Park Center Bridge.
