Small Streams 10-19-13

Thanks to cooling weather and water at base level the next few weeks could be the “last hurrah” for the best of the fishing season on many area small streams.  Currently Birch Creek, Warm River, Buffalo River and Blackfoot River below the reservoir are fishing well.   All have good BWO hatches, but they can be only at specific locations on the Blackfoot River, especially during these bright days.  Look for shaded areas there such as at the base of cliffs out of the sun.  On the Blackfoot River your chances for action are better through using streamers.  Make them small (size 8-10), and look for deep runs and holes for presenting them.
