Still Waters 4-5-16

Ice is off Daniels Reservoir, but it is a bit soon for an accumulation of fishing experience.  Presenting midge pupa patterns under an indicator might be a good strategy for now.  Some of the Chesterfield Reservoir shoreline is free of ice, so it will be ice-free in a matter of days. No word on Twenty-Four Mile Reservoir yet, but being a bit higher in elevation than Chesterfield Res., ice-out progress is usually the same or a bit slower there.  Fishing success on Springfield Reservoir varies day to day. Midge pupa under an indicator and small leech patterns work time to time.   Week-ends can be a bit crowded there, so Mondays through Thursdays offer a better choice of water to fish.
