Small Streams 7-8-14

All small streams not impacted by irrigation water are in good fishing shape. The lower Blackfoot River is an exception because of fluctuating flows of irrigation water. But the river above the reservoir, having opened on July 1st, is in good fishing shape. Try your favorite PMD life cycle patterns here, and for the meadow reach in the Blackfoot River Wildlife Management Area look for a sparse evening brown drake emergence. And remember that adult damselfly patterns will work here as they will on any meadow stream.
