Reservoirs are very low - BrianID - 09-18-2007 I drove by Palies last Friday the 14th. According to the USGS website Palies is about 2% full and 120 feet below full pool. It was lower than I have ever seen it. There was a small Island by the mouth of the Bear Creek arm by the dam. I might try fishing American Falls a few hours latter this week. I'll post some pictures if I go. This picture shows the dry reservoir bottom just upstream of Indian Creek. The head of the reservoir started close to the mouth of Indian Creek. This picture show the big elk creek area. This picture shows "the narrows" [signature] Re: [BrianID] Reservoirs are very low - windriver - 09-19-2007 I am wondering how the ice fishing will be this year. It seems like the fish will be concentrated? What does everyone else think. It is to see anyway you look at it.

Better pray for a wet winter or it's going to get really ugly next year.

They will be slowing the flows out of Jackson Lake on the 20th so it may get worse before it gets better. It has really screwed up the late summer fishing on the Snake here in WY and the south fork.
