Current Lake Conditions:
Get here early and fish until about 1:30 PM, then eat some lunch because the fishing shuts off. The morning's fishing offers a fair number of rising rainbows along the edges of the lake eating midges. These 8-10" rainbows will eat a #22 Quill Body Trico and the bigger, smarter rainbows and brown trout will eat a carefully presented CB Frostbite suspended under a Royal Wulff! Look for more good to great fishing at sundown.
The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Using a float tube or a pontoon boat, paddle out into the lake and look along the edges for cruising rainbows and browns. RIOs Aqualux Intermediate Sink Tip is a perfect line for retrieving and stripping Pheasant tail nymphs and Callibeeotis. Use a floating line and leader tapered to 6x with a bead head PT with a very, very, very slow retrieve. Fish will find your nymph and take it, but don't set the hook! Just lift and let line out until you can bend the rod without first breaking the fish off.
