Still Waters 11-05-2011

Now that the weather is turning for the worse, Chesterfield Reservoir is living up to its reputation as a great fishery. Try your favorite leech patterns in shallow water.  Same thing with the upper end of Daniels Reservoir–fishing is turning on with leech patterns in fall colors and damselfly nymph patterns.  We hear the same for Blackfoot River Reservoir, especially along the south side near Dike Lake.   Here’s a thought about this famed reservoir which seems to have fallen on hard times. It will hold abundant water this winter meaning good holdover trout next year.  With this high water some of the pelican habitat is flooded, so better days may be ahead.
