10 Minutes On Rainbow Lake
Written by Aaron “Chubbs” Peterson
So, I was in the land of milk and honey (Idaho) on the 5th and decided I would go weather the elements in frigid Rexburg Idaho and fish for a few minutes on Rainbow Lake. My goal was to re-affirm my faith that Rainbow Lake produces huge bows in a matter of minutes. 10 minutes later I had 1 nice fatty, wind burned cheeks, and 8 frozen digits. I looked up on weather.com and it showed temperature in Rexburg at 24 degrees, but it felt like 5 degrees. Regardless, Rainbow Lake remains a prized possession for the Fly Fishing Frenzy group to catch trophy rainbow trout, bass, and muskie. Even with the frozen digits, I got a few pics of the Lake and the beautiful bow that put up a tremendous fight.
Be sure to look for our Rainbow Lake Outfitters page for giveaways coming soon.

Legend has it that some young frenziers in their zeal to catch nothing but trout in the fabled Idaho Fly Fishing Streams cast a spell that exiled the guilty party to a punishment that only Bear Grylls would embrace.
What punishment you ask? Well, in order to answer that question we need a little history to [...]

Typical day on the Middle Fork:
“After fishing all day in a 12ft raft to rising Cutthroats we ate a gourmet meal of salmon and garlic potatoes. We then made the 1mile trek to soak ourselves in a perfectly heated natural hot pot with an equally [...]
