Still Waters 6-7-16

Here’s some interesting info about 24-Mile Reservoir: folks with fish finders say there are fish in deepest water just above the dam.  Chesterfield Reservoir remains slow fishing, but the Portneuf river below is in good shape.  Daniels Reservoir is fishing nicely with the upper area springs being the best location. Try your favorite damselfly nymph pattern, small black or olive leech pattern, callibaetis nymph pattern, or midge pupa pattern under an indicator.  Springfield Reservoir is also fishing very well. Try the same strategy as given above for Daniels, and don’t overlook trying in front of the culverts.  Conditions at Treasureton Reservoir are being monitored because of the impact of “Johnny Appleseed” introduced largemouth bass on rainbow trout population. Being considered, amongst other options, is whether or not to chemically treat the reservoir to regain its renown as a trophy rainbow trout fishery.  IDF&G Southeast Region personnel in Pocatello would appreciate your input.
