Clear and calm

Wonderfully clear blue skies with breezy conditions most of the week.

The stock truck arrived yesterday with some nice fish and they are hitting power bait, power worms and lures.

BAIT: Crawlers, salmon eggs, and all the old stuff, including scented marshmallows. Grubs, meal worms and even hoppers are bouncing around at lower elevations and should hit the area soon.

LURES: Red-gold Buoyant, small silver Super Dupers, the new Hot Shot (it's great), small Silver or gold Kastmaster 1/8oz.

FLY AND BUBBLE: It seems to be working when I do it, but not many are having luck.

FLY RODS: Streamers with a dropper, bring 'em all and give it a shot. Stillwater nymphs, olive elk hair caddis, tentwing caddis,

BACKCOUNTRY: Small brooks taking flies in the upper lakes (mosquitoes, green body mosquitoes, grey hackle yellow, black gnats, grey hackle peacock, and Cowdung's), Blue lake is better at the inlet, but don't spook them by getting too close to shore when getting there.

BACKCOUNTRY: No Report.

NOTE: If the trout bleeds don’t throw it back into the lake, it will die and IT ATTRACKS BEARS. If you care about the resource please be careful when releasing fish back into the water.
