I'm looking for some advice and guidance on fishing the North Fork of the Boise River next summer. I have explored Google Earth and Google Maps and have found two different places to start this one day fishing trip.

1. The easiest or at least closest access from Mountain Home seems to be at the confluence of the Middle Fork and the North Forth of of the Boise Rivers. The things that have me concerned are:
- Crossing the Boise River from where I'd park my car. My assumption is I'd have to wait until at least mid-July before attempting this crossing????? You can assume I don't mind getting wet or having to do a little swimming to cross the river but I don't want to drown either.
- The North Fork river canyon looks “semi-hikeable” for about 2 miles upstream before things close up and the off trail hike gets dangerous and steep.
Anyone out there ever tried fishing this portion of the North Fork?

2. The long and dusty access but easier fishing access seems to be along Rabbit Creek Road / Forest Service Road 327. My concerns are only on access to the river were it concerns private property.
- It there a lot of private property along the section of Rabbit Creek Road that follows the North Fork of the Boise?

Cheese Statistics - Idaho

Idaho is cheesy and so is Wisconsin and California. But it not what you think. Idaho is the third “cheesiest” state in the United States. I was surprised to find out from the Department of Agriculture that Idaho ranks 3rd in the US for the total production of cheese for September 2008.

The Idaho Cheese City?
Could Mountain Home, Idaho be considered the “Cheesehead Capitol” of Idaho? Why not! We have the Marathon Cheese factory located right here. Can you think of any other city in Idaho that has a the cheesy resources we have?

When I Think Cheese
When I think of “cheese”, I use to think of Wisconsin, Vermont, and New York cheeses. I don't think that anymore. Here are the cheese statistics.

Third Place
As you see above, Idaho ranks third in total cheese production but I wouldn't expect us to jump in the Cheese Rankings any time soon. We'll have to settle for being the third cheesiest state. But I can live with that.
