Tripod Reservoir Slated for Repairs

The recent, frequent rainfall has taken its toll on one of southern Idaho's more popular fishing holes. Rain-related damage to the footbridge crossing Tripod Reservoir's spillway led Fish and Game officials to remove the footbridge recently, with repairs scheduled for sometime after the Memorial Day weekend. "We wanted to give folks a heads up regarding the damage," Fish and Game utility craftsman Dennis Hardy noted. "Foot access to Tripod will be more or less limited to the northeast side of the reservoir until repairs to the footbridge are completed." Tripod Reservoir is located two miles west of Smiths Ferry on the road to Sagehen Reservoir.
