Still Water 5-18-2011

Just as Tim said on 5/16, it’s still the same: Chesterfield Res. looks like chocolate milk thanks to run-off from Toponce Creek and the Portneuf River.  Add Twenty-Four Mile to the list of chocolate milk look-alikes.   That leaves Daniels, Devil Creek, Hawkins, and Springfield on the list of reservoirs with clearer water.  Midging brings good results on all these.  So do damselfly nymph and small leech patterns. We have no solid info on Treasureton Reservoir yet, but there has been good holdover water through the winter, and some very large fish were taken from it late last season.

Today at Jimmy’s 5/15

Just a few fun things to post today. We had some new customers this past week.

I am not sure if these ducks were coming in to make a CDC deposit or if they were trying to commit suicide.  Did you hear that one about the 3 Mallards that walked into a fly shop?….I will stop there.

We went bowling this last Friday night as a shop crew it was a lot of fun. Most of us dressed up and some of us didn’t here are a few shots I took with my iPhone.

Still Water 5/16

We just received word for Tom that the water at Chesterfield lo0ked like chocolate milk! As we continue runoff for the time being, this reservoir will remain muddy. Stay tuned for more details and we will let you know as soon as the water clears.

Small Streams 5-14-2011

Birch Creek family area and the diversion  remain the best choice for small waters. Any small stream draining high country is full of run off now. Birch Creek is the exception.

Still Waters 5-14-2011

These are coming around, and for the most part offer the best fishing in the area.  That’s because run off has reached most of our streams.  Midging will bring you action–just find the taking depth.   Damselfly nymphs, small bead head nymphs, and leech patterns are the ticket most everywhere.   Most action will be in shallower water, so concentrate your efforts there.  The upper end of Daniels Res. , Hawkins Res.  in front of the dam and along the roadside willows, Chesterfield Res. from the Toponce diversion to the dam are good candidate places to try now.

Henry’s Fork 5/13

Not much going on with the high water right now. Warm River and Robinson Creek are bringing in some dirty water and the Falls River is mighty high. This pretty much leaves Box Canyon and the flows were just increased to 900 cfs, if these flows remain somewhat steady the Box will fish well with nymphs and streamers.

South Fork

Flows have remained steady at 18,000 cfs. The water is dirty and blown out, if you really want to fish I suggest the upper section in Swan Valley. Throw large heavy nymphs and fish them deep under an indicator. You pretty much are going to have to get right in front of the fish’s face, however it is possible to catch fish. I expect the South Fork to be off color and ripping high for at least 3 weeks. As conditions change we will keep you updated.

Still Waters 5-11-2010

Improvements coming everywhere with our warming weather.   For all of these midge pupa below indicators, once you find the taking depth, will work.  So will damselfly nymph patterns and small leech patterns.  If you try shallows on all still waters, which you should,don’t overlook dragonfly nymph patterns this time of year.  Fish them right on the bottom, with a slow retrieve (towards shorelines) interrupted with an occasional twitch.
