Blacktail is the southern end of Ririe Resivoir. It's directly east of Idaho Falls. I quite like it there, we had a few small bass, trout and perch when we fished on the dock beside the boat ramp casting towards the rocks.
Next time we are taking the boat, we have a shad rapala and several sizes of perch to try fishing for some bigger bass.

Texan64 told me he puts back everything under 9" and the longest ones he has caught are 12" . Curt G.

those are some nice sized perch. i bet the kids had a great time. I'm supposed to go to Ririe this weekend with some friends to wakeboard. maybe I'll throw in a couple of poles and sit on one of the docks with the kids. they would like that more anyway i think. thanks for the post and the pictures.

Boy those are some great perch. I wish that end of the res. was open for ice fishing. There are a few pockets of perch on the Juniper side, but just not as many.

Why is it not open for ice fishing? I don't understand. Is the season closed on that end of the res?

because fish and game keeps it closed to protect wintering big game from snow machines and general human traffic.
