The summer temperatures have turned the fishing on near Challis. The trout fishing at Mosquito Flats Reservoir and Bayhorse Lake has slowed a little bit because the fish are going deeper with the warmer weather; however worms and bobbers are working well. Fly fishing is really coming on and as the water drops, it keeps getting better. Mackay Reservoir is good for trolling deep.
<br>The Salmon River is near normal flows now and the trout fishing is excellent. Anglers are catching lots of fish at the kid's ponds and lakes on the valley floor. And the high mountain lakes are open and also fishing well.<br>
<br>The lake fishing is good at recently stocked Wallace and Meadow Lakes. The public sections of the Lemhi River are extremely good with anglers reporting excellent results with both fly and spinning rods. Williams Lake is fishing well with top water flies, eggs and worms. Hayden Ponds near Lemhi report good fishing but the water is very mossy and will probably remain that way until cool fall weather.
