This years Father’s Day trip was to American Falls, I have never been here before, we are camped at sportsman park in Aberdeen. We went on a boat cruise Friday afternoon and found a few smallmouth using crawdad pattern crank baits. Saturday morning Randy and I ran down to the dam and caught a nice brown and fat rainbows on jointed rapalas on the down riggers between 12-25’ going 2.5-3mph. We hooked 9 and landed 6 between 6:30-9:00am the fish we lost where because of Green slime buildup on the line getting caught in the eyes of the rod and reels. I’ll have to come back this is a beautiful stretch of River.
