Fishing Report & Conditions: Fair - Good

Just a thought - If the predicted cool-down occurs next week, fishing could pick up considerably. Nothing new to report - Hatches have been weak and the temperatures have been high. With any luck and a little cool-down, there should be some more information by the end of the weekend.

Crowds have decreased but the water temperatures are rising - It’s best to only fish in the mornings and monitor the water temperatures to avoid fish mortality. Up near the dam, big lake midges are pretty ineffective now. We are seeing success in much smaller “Crowley-sized” midges. The slower waters have strong Callibaetis and Damsel hatches. The Trico hatch has slowed considerably but that could be a temporary situation. The Spinner Fall may end around 10 AM, but the fish will continue to eat them into the early afternoon. In the evenings, Caddis and male Trico are productive.
