You’re a great fisherman! I am about to take my 11 year old boy out on the river to try to get some fish to feed the family. Thank you for posting videos! Now I just need to figure out where we should try first.
As usual, awesome video and some great Boise River fish. Glad I got to thank you in person last Friday. I was the guy who caught something on first cast and line or knot failed at my swivel. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks for all the tips Matt, I put down the fly rod this week after a few weeks of getting skunked and tried your ways. Finaly caught some nice browns and had a blast. Now i want explore new areas of the river. When do you expect them to release the water this year?
Hey that’s great! Glad you got on some fish! Those browns are fun to target this time of year. Typically the flows increase around April 1 but if there is a lot of snow melt it could be earlier.
Awesome stuff man!! Im going to get out there..I have yet to catch a brown and it's on my catch list for this year. Been fishing for sturgeon mostly. Congrats on the nice steelhead..I've seen you catch them and was wondering if you'd ever keep one..good stuff and I bet it tasted great..that is another one on my list lol
@@OLDHATOUTDOORS it's been good! I love that you can catch them all year long. Still trying to break my PB..my biggest was 8'2 but my last few have been 6'6. & yea I need to get out there. Might try tomorrow afternoon
Hello there, @OLDHATOUTDOORS, Question, do you have a list or map of the locations on the Boise river you fish? I am not a hard core fisher but would love some direction to decent spots on the river I can walk into.
Hey welcome to Boise. Two types of fishing typically on the Boise. Summer (July - September) and this is how I would fish: th-cam.com/video/bazntIHdkcQ/w-d-xo.html Low water (October - March) Here's how I would fish that: th-cam.com/video/bTpwyFs_pAk/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps!
Any chance you might wanna take a random stranger that's tired of getting skunked fishing with you? I'd totally pay you/feed you/cow tow to you. I just want to understand what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance either way. Your videos are pearls.
Get a 7 foot medium fast action rod. A decent reel that you like. Buy a few packs of different size hooks from size 10 to 4 and split shot weights. Get a pack of worms or shrimp. Or both. Tie your hook. Put your split shot 12"-24" above your hook. Bait with a piece of nightcrawler or shrimp and work the river . Rent one of those birds scooters and you'll have a hell of an adventure 😂
Hey there. The next 2-3 weeks I’m pretty tied up but if we still have low water towards the later part of March I think we can make something happen. Message me on Facebook or Instagram if you have it.
Good video and fishing trip.
Thank you!

How was fishing? Most of the river from Lucky Peak to Star is fishing pretty good.
@ We haven’t gone out yet. I still need to get some waders for us. Hope we get out during their Christmas break.
Dude your videos are very helpful and helped me a lot when I’m trying to fish the boise thank you
@@Cloakedice appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Thank you Matt for all your videos, I landed one two weeks ago at Glenwood Bridge Boise river.
Nice! A steelhead? Did you eat it? I was impressed how good mine tasted.
@@OLDHATOUTDOORS Yes, really good.

How's sturgeon fishing? Not much time left on the Boise until the water rises. Get out there! :-)

@@papajorge88 good luck if you get out!
Hello there, @OLDHATOUTDOORS,

I don’t, but you can use the green belt and walk from Barber Park as far down as you would like in town and have great fishing!
What are you using as bait in this video? Just moved here and Im constantly getting skunked out here

@jamesburke8681 I'm doing all of this. Just unlucky I guess.

Landing some tanks!
Does it matter what type of shrimp is used? (frozen/cooked/fresh)?
I use cooked unfrozen shrimp.
@@OLDHATOUTDOORS Ok, thanks!
why are pike minnows a letdown? i have never caught one they look fun.
They’re a let down when you’re hoping for a big brown trout. And too many pikeminnow can be detrimental to a good trout fishery like the Boise.
Big stick baits bud. Cover some water.
Not this time of year....soon though.
