Blackfoot Reservoir
#11
[quote dtayboyz]My family had a cabin by the dike for years and I agree with the best tasting fish in Idaho. The problem I always saw was the pelicans and low water years. Those dam birds would wait for the fish truck and then they'd eat so much they couldn't fly. The fish grow fast because of the insects. We always did the best with sucker meat between the dike and the river. Leave the arrowheads lay, they've closed access in the past because of people digging.[/quote]

Not saying I condone the behavior but I have heard that those big birds make mighty fine .308 long range targets. Again not saying but just saying the bobbing action might be hard to time some days Wink

And yes some of the bank spots get overkilled, there is the snakes, algae blooms, Sasquatch, and don't forget the tire popping rocks that cover the roads up there. Yup more I think about it better stick to the pavement and head to PaliSades.


A few things I would like to see in that whole area is get the water flowing back to how it was prior to diverting greys lake over to it. Then some effort put into improving the habitat above the res to get the cutties more spawning habitat. Cut the limit in half or do a slot limit. Open season put on the pelicans, more duck/goose boxes put in, and since I am already wishing for the whole nine yards, more camping options than pebble beach.

Not asking too much am I?

Almost forgot a decent ramp down by the dam for when water is low and poison creek is sketchy.
