The McCall area, located on Payette Lake two
hours north of Boise, has long been a favorite
recreation and vacation area for southern Idaho.
It is surrounded by the beautiful Payette National
Forest where more than 200 lakes and reservoirs,
large rivers, and bountiful streams offer anglers
countless opportunities to fish and hike, often
in complete solitude.
The McCall
fishing season starts in May on local reservoirs
and rivers for trout. After the early summer
runoff, streams and rivers provide plentiful
fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, and brook
trout. In late summer, fishing moves to the
mountain lakes, where a reliable Cinnamon
Ant hatch in early September produces some
of the finest dry fly fishing available anywhere.
The area also
boasts extraordinary smallmouth bass fishing
on Little Payette Lake and the Lower
Salmon River.
While
October offers fine trout fishing throughout
the region, most anglers are focusing on steelhead
fly-fishing on the Lower
Salmon River in nearby Riggins (45 minutes
drive from McCall).
