Springfield is right by Springfield Idaho. I guess the closest big city would be blackfoot? This was my first time going out there. I don't know when I will be back though because there are so many still waters and rivers around here that I want to hit.

Well done. Springfield is one of those lakes that can be very difficult. I have never done incredibley well there, but the fish are usually big and fun to catch.

Blackfoot? I always thought it was between American falls and Pocatello.
From Chubbuck, we headed north then west then back east (allot of farm land) then west again to the town of Springfield. Coming back, we headed south, then south/east and were at American falls.

To me it more like it would be between AF and Blackfoot. But I have only been there once.

You are right it is between, but I would think Pocatello is a little closer ( although to the south). I know it is off Aberdeen Hiway. To look at a map it is slightly North and west of Fort Hall. The thing is from Chubbuck there are the small roads that cut more straight through.

Absolutely...LOL I am down south, so a good point. Blackfoot would be a closer town for you, for me, it is out of the way.

I agree, of course I come down from further up the valley (Idaho Falls) so your directions are right on DeeCee. I have fished there a few times and it has some fine fish. It is a small lake so hopefully the pressure won't get to be too much.

Caught a big fella this morning at Springfield this morning from the shore using my Tenkara fly rod, about 19 inches long.

Pretty cool. That's a neat little pond.

. They were all caught on wooly buggers and leeches. I did lose one on a Hare's ear. I left at 3:30 or so to grab a bite to eat and headed over to the South Fork and did quite well. I am posting a separate report on that. Sorry the pictures aren't compressed, I am still figuring out how to do it.
