Well, it seems as if the big trout of Idaho have been on the snap lately. Just take a look at these two bruisers:
First off, feast your eyes on this salmon-sized hook jaw, which is the new ID state record, 27.3-pound brown trout taken by Wes Case of Ashton in Ashton Reservoir.
I’m not sure who was happier about the catch, Wes…or the kokanee population of Ashton Reservoir!
Then, in the Boise River earlier this month:
A potential Idaho state record rainbow (estimated at 23 pounds) was gutted before it was weighed.
DOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The beast was 30 inches long with a 25-inch girth…and could still weigh more than the current record of 19 pounds.
It was hooked by a 16-year old kid drifting a crawler in the Boise River below Lucky Peak Dam.
But enough of my yappin’ — let’s let Ol’ Eagle Eyes, who runs the Idaho Fishin Times blog, tell you the whole story.
You can get the full skinny at his blog on these two fish and a bunch of other cool information on the entire Idaho fishing scene. Check it out!

Im wondering how the brown fishing is down a little further towards the Napa and Middleton section of the boise. If anyone knows what fishing is like in these areas maybe they can post pictures or comments?
