Something to be aware of - They are starting to put cows inside the fences. This is a normal occurrence, as grazing (historically done by Deer and Antelope) is an important part of the ecosystem. They move the cows every week or so, so it can affect water clarity and the amount of drifting weeds - Be on the lookout. The slime weed “migration” worsens the closer you get to the lake.

The migratory Browns and stocked Rainbows are now spread throughout the public water. The Tricos are currently going strong, with the female emergence and Caddis migration around 7 am. Around 9:30 am the Trico egg-laying begins along with the remnants of the PMD hatch. Craneflies are now emerging mid-morning. We are also seeing minnows and fry hanging out in the drowned grass on the inside of the river bends. Evenings are good for male Tricos, Caddis hatches, and Caddis egg-laying.
