Eradication Efforts Boost Idaho Trout Fishing At Blackfoot
Idaho Fish and Game notes strong opening day fishing at Blackfoot reservoir with 297 anglers catching 473 fish weighing 700 pounds. Restocking after 1960 chemical treatments has improved trout growth. Magic and Island Park reservoirs show strong revival, though reinfestation risks remain from illegal bait releases and tribuary drift.

Trout Conservation Through Chemical Treatment In 1961
The article notes that after a 1959 rehabilitation, the reservoir was drawn to dead storage in July and trout mortality followed. In fall 1961 the reservoir and drainage were retreated with rotenone and toxaphene, eliminating rough fish at a total cost of 340 dollars. Treatment costs rely on area and water volume, about 1 dollar per acre foot.
