Report: The great thing about Baum is there is always something happening. The lake has cooled off, but there are still Blue Wing Olives and some Callibaetis coming off on the cloudy days. Midges in the morning are always a good bet, fish some Zebras or Smoke Jumpers under an indicator. Soft Hackles work great here too. Sinking lines with Wooly Buggers and ZT's Balanced Swimming Leeches are a great choice to get some big fish. Small nymphs under a dry dropper is the best way to get a high number of fish without scaring the trout in there. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
