The drought is pounding away at southern Idaho fisheries. Idaho Fish and Game is attempting to salvage fish from Oakley Reservoir because the water remaining is desperately needed to irrigate parched fields. Meanwhile, near the dam at Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir near Rogerson, launching a boat has become increasingly difficult. Deputies with the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office warn launch attempts can be precarious because the water has dropped to incredibly low levels. The Sheriff’s Office and Fish and Game are offering frequent updates, but most of us can see on our own what’s going on and make our own judgments.
