Still Waters 4-14-12

Daniels Reservoir now offers some good fishing if you go deep.  Water remains cold, so not much happening other than midge activity.  Fish your pupa patterns deep under an indicator.  Try leech and bead head nymph patterns, also presented deep. Two and three weight sinking lines should get down to where you find action.  Chesterfield Reservoir is turning over, so action is slow.  Give it a week or so for improvement.  Twenty-Four Mile Reservoir remains iced over, but any day now should open up.  Hawkins was stocked recently, so small fish will be hitting.  Don’t let that stop you from going there. We have a report of  27.5-inch holdover being taken there on midge pupa pattern under an indicator!  Springfield Reservoir has been fair fishing.  Midge pupa under an indicator and small leech patterns trolled very slowly bring some action.  Carp are moving into shallows around American Falls Reservoir.
