Still Water 11-05-10

Some great fishing is to be had on Chesterfield, Daniels and Hawkins reservoirs.  Big fish have moved into shallows in each, so intermediate lines and leech patterns in fall colors are the way to fish.  Best fishing on Daniels seems late and early in the day. Fish in front of the dam at Hawkins. Any time seems to work on Chesterfield.  Springfield had been planted three times by mid October, but hold-overs are running to the mid-twenty inch range. All you have to do to encounter one is get past the planters.  Sand Creek ponds remain fishable, but action seems a bit slow with fall color leech patterns. Midge pupa patterns under a strike indicator will work on all these when you find the taking depth.
