Small Streams 9-10-16

We note that the flow out of Blackfoot River Reservoir was reduced significantly early today. Flow at the Shelley gauge is 128 cfs. Whether the flow stays at this level or not remains to be seen, but if it does, good fishing conditions are coming to the river about a month early. We will keep watch on how this develops. Meanwhile although the river above the reservoir is quite low, water temperatures are ideal. This makes for fish responding well to early AM trico activity and later in the day to terrestrial insect activity
