Blacks Creek Reservoir
Boise River Drainage
- Recommended Fishing Water
Blacks Creek Reservoir in Ada County is 106.3 acres.
Fishing opportunity in Blacks Creek Reservoir is highly dependent on spring inflows. After a series of drought years, few fish remain. Following a series of wet years, good fishing opportunity exists. Ideally, this is a good bluegill and perch fishery close to Boise, and a great winter spot to take kids ice fishing for perch. Yellow perch fishing during winter months can produce high catch rates.
Directions
Take Interstate 84 east from Boise to Exit 64. Turn west on Black's Creek Road and drive approximately 3.5 miles to Black's Creek Reservoir.Recommended Game Fish
