The Bridge has come on strong recently for numbers and some quality fish. Fly fishers stillwater nymphing Buckeye Bay and the area just north of the marina are doing very well for catchable sized rainbows using midges and mayfly nymphs. The trout are "climbing", meaning we are seeing many grabs on the upper fly on a tandem rig. This is indicative of fish hunting swimming type nymphs like damsel flies, callibaetis, and chironomid pupa/emergers. Midges are best in the morning, switch to damsels or callibaetis in the middle of the day. Tubers SLOW trolling damsel fly, callibaetis, and midge trailer patterns are also getting into fish consistently. The sweet spot is 8-11 feet along the weed lines and creek channels. Switch to nymphing when you get a steady wind or current in these areas. Water conditions remain excellent with very little algae and pond weed for this time of year. Tubers working the east shoreline a tad north of the marina are also getting into consistent fish. Fish are hanging in the 6-8 foot range in both areas.
