Just be careful!! Some of those land owners in not only Idaho, but even in Eastern Washington think they can take aim at another human being who they perceive is trespassing on “their property”. I know there’s some really scenic and beautiful streams out that way, but I don’t understand how another person can feel they have the right to shoot at another person just for trying to cast a line to catch a fish. These are the same people who feel they don’t have to purchase a fishing license as long as they don’t step off of, “their property”. Crazy 🌎 we live in.

Absolutely!!! My father when he was still living owned property which had one of the tributaries of the Snake River running through it. Consequently, many would ask him for permission to fish there (which is all well and good). But every so often, sometimes people would show up unannounced like the three Rural Area Electric boys who came after dark to retrieve their truck. This turned out to be a complete mess, but I told him afterwards that just because they didn’t call before coming over, that didn’t give him the right to meet them on the other side of the barn with a 20 gage shotgun. That aside, there are certain apps and websites like OnX which can tell you if you’re on public or private property. If you’re like me and enjoy exploring, that’s another aspect which makes fly fishing fun. But at the same time, it might be worth looking into these websites and what they cost just to keep from ending up taking a bullet fired from, “Farmer Brown”.

I hope you reported that to the police. In a rural area like that the police can get a geofence warrant and can shortlist the suspects incredibly quickly. Criminals like that cannot detach from their phones even when they are committing crimes. Some of them drive newer cars/trucks that have sim cards in them.

I reported it to the local sheriff - they felt it would be tough to pin down who fired the shot, but at least they know now to keep an eye out in case it happens to someone else.

In Idaho negligent discharge of a gun is a crime. If it is done in a crowded bar, it can even be considered gross negligence or willful discharge and be escalated to felony.

Lived in Boise and fished rivers in Idaho for over 30 years. One river I purposely avoided was the Big Lost because it's about the only one where so much of the land around it is private property. Technically you're not trespassing if you stay beneath the high water mark but unfortunately some of the landowners don't always see it that way. Luckily there's literally hundreds of miles of other rivers with plenty of public access especially along highway 20.

Years ago, while fishing the Skagit near Concrete, my pal and I were standing on a gravel bar and some dopey teenager with @ .22 started to concentrate fire at a Great Blue Heron as it flapped overhead from the high bank across and above us. When we heard a couple of rounds give us the “bumblebee buzz” (a sound you never forget!) we started screaming and the fire subsided. You can’t be too careful in the country!!! 💀💀💀💀💀

While bass fishing from our kayaks in lake Kapowsin near the sure some dopes inadvertently sent rounds through the brush into the water just a few feet from us. They did it just as the Sheriffs Department was coming to see if we had life jackets. They called State, who came down the Trail and caught them. They said they didn't want to go up there themselves because they didn't have bulletproof vests on and they were shooting wildly.

Honestly, to me, it sounded like a stray round. Subsonic, which for most rounds is past a few hundred yards. So it could have been someone a 1/2 mile or so out that was trying to get something and completely aired it thinking that "its wide open, there isnt anything there, so i should be ok." So i dont think they were doing it intentionally, but there is always a chance.

I live along a river that in fall accomodates many hunters, not to mention the gopher getters in the spring. I hear gun shots frequently. Recently confronted an out of state guy that was gopher hunting and shooting toward the creek. Dont blame you for packing up and leaving!
