Still Water 5-18-09

Good news here is that the ice appears to be leaving Henry’s Lake.  That means it should be ready for fishing this upcoming weekend.  In southeast Idaho, Daniels and Hawkins reservoirs remain the stars of the show.  Water is clear in both with shallows and bays the best locations for action on leech and woolly bugger and midge pupa patterns.  The few folks we have talked to about fishing Chesterfield Reservoir say fishing is good  on leech patterns presented around coves and bays.  Springfield is producing for those using midge patterns, especially red zebra and other midge emerger patterns.  Ice is off both Devil Creek and Deep Creek reservoirs, and they are producing for those presenting small leech patterns.  If you are looking for bass, try American Falls Reservoir at Sportsman’s Park.
