Idaho Stillwaters

Where is it? Twenty-Four Mile Reservoir has been excellent fishing with best approach being presenting midge pupa patterns under an indicator after finding the taking depth. Slowly trolled small leech patterns on an intermediate line also work. We have no recent information on Chesterfield Reservoir. Damselfly life cycle patterns are working at Springfield Reservoir, but the stand-by midge pupa pattern at the taking depth produces best. Small black leech patterns also have been producing. From what we have heard, Daniels Reservoir still has good fishing at the far side upper end, but has slowed at bit. The Harriman Fish Pond has good hold-over rainbows, but the weed growth there is big time. This reduces frustration-free fishing to surface fishing or patterns under an indicator.
Fly Patterns to use:
Mini Damsel Nymph
