Quick Details
Located only 45 minutes South of Twin Falls, 2 1/2 hours from Boise, and 3 hours from Idaho Falls, Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir is a much more local option for our Southern Idaho customers to get their Walleye fix, and presents a great option for anglers wanting to fish for walleye but not wanting to drive all the way to the Columbia River. For overnight options, there is dry camping and plenty of hotels in Twin Falls. Jackpot, Nevada is also a great place to stay and offers a unique experience of fishing and gambling all in one trip.
A number of the past state record Walleye have been from this system, and many believe that the next state record may be swimming there now. This fishery kicks off as soon as the ice clears, and continues to fish well until the ice returns late in the fall and early winter. In addition to Walleye, Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir is also a fantastic Trout and Bass destination. We often catch Trout in the 16-20 inch range and lots of Bass. This multi species fishery provides a great opportunity for a mixed bag of fish to take home!
The limit is 6 Walleye per person with only one over 20 inches. On our boats, we strongly advocate for customers to release all Walleye over 24 inches as these are our spawning fish and we want to do our part to have a healthy fishery. Normally, we catch plenty of smaller fish to fill the freezer and a picture of a trophy Walleye goes much further that putting it in the freezer. In addition to the Walleye limitations, the Trout limit is 6 per person with no size restrictions and the limit on Bass is 6 inches with none under 12 inches.
