What is the fishing status of Paddock in 2015? Obviously the last few years have been bad for a variety of reasons
Answer:
Unfortunately, this will be another bleak year for Paddock Reservoir. With little to no snowpack remaining in the Paddock drainage and the unusually warm and dry spring; there is no chance of the reservoir filling. We just hope enough water will remain in the deepest part of the reservoir for a few crappie, bass and bluegill to survive.
I fished Paddock Reservoir back in the late 1980's when it produced numerous, large crappie. The key is water. If we can get back to consecutive years of average or above average precipitation, Paddock will again produce some of the best fishing in Idaho.
