Idaho Stillwaters

Thinking of visiting Chesterfield, Daniels, Hawkins, or Twenty-Four Mile Reservoirs? You'd better hurry! All are being drawn down for irrigation purposes during this hot,dry summer. Fishing is slowing on each because of warming water. We have no good reports on fishing at Chesterfield Reservoir. Daniels offers the best fishing of these, but likely will come to an end in a few weeks. Some fish are taking adult damsel patterns on the surface at Daniels, and midge pupa patterns under an indicator can produce there.
Fly Patterns to use:
Harrop’s Mayfly Nymph Callibaetis
Belly Flop Balanced Damsel
Chan’s Balanced Ruby-Eyed Leech Black/Red
