Island Park Reservoir

The blue-green algae bloom in Island Park Reservoir has reached amounts making water toxic for human and animal consumption and contact. Thus washing hands and equipment and keeping pets away from these waters is much recommended. However, now that shorter and cooler days are arriving this bloom will eventually break up, and submerged springs will be safer to fish. Most of these springs are off the north shoreline at the west end of the reservoir. Good fishing can take place around these through presenting midge pupa patterns in red, olive or black colors, all under indicators.
