Idaho Stillwaters

Stillwater fishing has been very tough on area reservoirs since ice out. The cold weather has been keeping water temperatures way down and bug activity to a minimum. Of all the lakes Springfield has been fishing best, although even that hasn't been very good. If you go to springfield, small chironomids and leeches have been best. We really need water temperatures to get and stay above 50 degrees before things really get going. Once that happens, look for chironomids to start popping on all area reservoirs and fishing to drastically improve.
Fly Patterns to use:
Mini Damsel Nymph
Rohmer’s BH Simi Seal Leech Canadian Brown
Chan’s Chironomid Pupa Black/Red
