Island Park Reservoir, a man-made lake that produces good 

 catches of rainbow and blueback salmon. Fly fishermen should 

 put up their light tackle and troll with bait. 



August i. The Big Lost River. Take-off town, 

 Mackay, Idaho. 



The Big Lost disappears in the lava beds southeast of Mackay, 

 only to reappear after 75 miles underground as the roaring 

 Thousand Springs on the Snake River. Here is one of the best 

 fishing grounds in the country, tops for fly fishing. Since it's 

 August, the river is low enough to wade. The trout population 

 includes rainbow, eastern brook and Dolly Varden.
