The Middle Fork of the Boise is starting to slow down a bit as we are finally moving toward winter. A good trick on the Middle Fork at this time of year is to fish a big stonefly nymph through the deeper runs under an indicator- you will find bigger fish this way.
I like to fish patterns like the Never-Sink Trude series, Stimulators (sz.10-14), Parachute Hoppers and drop a size 16 Copper John off the back and fish the pools. It might be a little tough to cast, but don't try to make long casts and just go slow and you should be able to limit the tangles that can come with fishing 2 flies.

Like the Upper South Fork, the Middle Fork of the Boise is a back country gem that produces an abundance of wild cutthroat and rainbow trout. Most range in the 10" - 14" class, but we have had several fish reported upwards of 16". Equally,it receives very little pressure from the public at large. These fish violently attack attractor patterns in late summer, and are a kick on lighter gear (0 - 3 weight rods). If you are looking for an afternoon of open water, virtually no crowds, and an abundance of fish looking up, I would highly recommend fishing this little stream. This is great dry fly fishery for the beginner and experienced alike.
