Still Waters 2-13-12

Springfield Reservoir remains ice-free, and fishing has been pretty good. Try midge pupa below a strike indicator.  Experiment to find the taking depth, but shallow waters such as behind the resort, along the island’s north shore, and around the east end are good locations.  Try small leech (#10) and Prince nymph (#14) patterns anywhere. Small fly rod jigs can save the day if fish are not bulging to emerging midges.
