Flow varies above American Falls Reservoir because of irrigation diversion. From the Tilden Bridge area to American Falls Reservoir water conditions improve because of input from various spring creeks. Reservoir is at 10% of capacity. Streamer and wooly bugger remain the best patterns for action. Want to fish the river below American Falls Dam ? Flow is about 8150 cfs, so use a boat and big streamer and woolly buggers to do so.
