April Outing: Duck Valley, Mt View Reservoir 2027 (22 Apr 2027)

Thu, 22 Apr 2027 12:45:00 GMT

Welcome to the Duck Valley Outing

April 22 - 25, 2027

This stillwater fishery is known for some fantastic Spring fishing at a time when many local rivers are too high to safely wade and others are closed to fishing. Come on out to try your hand at catching some of the largest rainbow trout southwest Idaho has to offer.

There are three lakes open to fishing in Duck Valley. Mountain View and Sheep Creek Reservoirs allow gas powered motors. Lake Billy Shaw is fly fishing only and boat motors are restricted to electrical only.

You must have a Duck Valley tribal fishing permit to fish this event. A daily fishing permit (Ages 14+) is $25. An annual single-rod fishing permit is $150, which also allows you to disperse camp on the reservation for no additional charge, for the duration of the permit. Permits may be available at some local fly shops and at ACE Hardware in Duck Valley. The link below will provide access to the Shoshone-Paiute Tribal Website for fishing and camping permits:

https://spt.permits.tribaltrails.ai/

5 and 6 weight fly rods are typically used at this fishery with floating, intermediate and sinking lines. Fishing reports from previous outings indicate #6 and 8 weighted black, brown or olive leeches fished deep and a #14 root beer and wine-colored chironomids with a fine silver wire rib, fished on or near the bottom, can be productive.

Temperatures in the morning typically range from the mid 30s to 40s, with afternoon temps in the low 50s to the high 60s. Be prepared for rain, snow, and lots of WIND!

Camping with hook-ups is available at both Mountain View and Sheep Creek Reservoirs. Dispersed camping is available at all three bodies of water. The BVFF outing host will camp at Mountain View Campground. Look for the BVFF feather flags. Reservations can be made on the tribal website or by calling 208-759-3246 and asking for June or Annmarie.

Directions from Boise: Take I-84 East to Mountain Home, then take Idaho 51 Hwy to Duck Valley. Driving time is approximately 2+45. There is gasoline and diesel fuel available in Duck Valley.
