Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 5/19


Blackfoot River Fishing Report - 3/29Beginning in April, once a week we will post a brief description of a rig we saw during the previous week that had one of our Kingfisher stickers on the window. When you recognize it as being your car described in our hatch report, stop into the shop and pick out 2 dozen nymphs or dries on us!!

You can pretty much count this one out.  However the tributaries are now open, so you may be able to find something running a little cleaner and lower.  Other than the tributaries you’ve got a pretty good list of still waters up this way to fish as well.  Blanchard Lake, Harpers Lake, Seeley Lake, Lake Inez, Upsata Lake and the list goes on.  If you plan on heading to the still waters up this direction, woolley buggers and scuds under an indicator are always a good bet.  A parachute adams or purple haze should work on top when fished with a 12ft or longer leader.

 

If you own and iPad 1 or 2, we have 6 MFC original iPad covers to give away. The first people through the door get’em!!! If you come in with a kingfisher tattoo on your forehead you can have two!!!

Browns Lake is iced off, open and fishing well. However, the private land owners surrounding Browns Lake are now enforcing there NO trespass rights. All the bank fishing with the exception of the public land at the south and east sides of the lake is now closed to walking. We have provided a map showing the property lines and places to legally access the lake. The boundaries highlighted with green are open to the public.
