Report: Baum Lake has a lot of larger fish right now along with all of the smaller ones, the higher elevations are cooler in the mornings and this is a good spot to chill when it's in the centuries down here in the valley. Keep your eyes peeled for anything weird, but the most productive offerings are Baetis and midge nymphs. The Sweet Pea, olive Perdigon and BP Weiss nymphs are all killer under a small indicator. Dry Dropper can be a deadly setup, a red or black Zebra Midge underneath a Chubby Chernobyl or a Fat Head Moth is a good setup. Trico spinners in the morning can have fish stacked feeding on the dead insects, bring some Drowned Tricos to cover your bases. Caddis have appeared as well and a great tactic is to swing a soft hackle or a small Bird's Nest. Zug Bugs can have fish grabbing as well. Look upstream around the bend for Callibaetis coming off, the spinners in the morning will have fish taking them just off of the current seams. Norman's Loopwing and the CDC Spinner are two excellent patterns on spring creeks for Callibaetis. Tricos are on the horizon, so the TB Drowned Trico should be in your box right next to all of your Zebra Midges. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
