The Twin Lakes have been fishing fairly well. Some of the rainy weather last week has likely helped to cool the surface water down. Because of this, dry fly action may be more productive than in weeks past. Fish may be more likely to move into the upper water column. Mornings and evenings will still have the best fishing. Callibaetis and terrestrials are the best choices for surface flies. After thunderstorms, the wind can help push lots of ants and beetles into the lake, which makes for a really fun afternoon. Nymph action has been most consistent with dark assassins, chironomids, and balanced leeches. Fishing deep is still the most productive; however, damsels and callibaetis nymphs could fool a fish or two in areas five to ten feet deep. Streamer fishing with winking lines is an excellent way to mix things up. The forecast looks hopeful for more precipitation, which is great news for the fishing. I’m hoping that we avoid triple digits in August and we get early fall temperatures and rains.
