Baum Lake - Cassel, CA (Shasta County)

Website
Current Lake Conditions:
Anglers fishing small midge nymphs like Gidgets, Frostbites and mayfly nymph patterns like Zack's #18 Pseudo May in black. Crowds are light and the fishing has been good. The cooler weather has been good for the insect hatches on Baum. Bring a selection of #18-20 mayfly duns and emergers.
The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Suspend nymphs like #16-18 Micro Mays under big brushy dry flies, like a Stimulator or Royal Wulf. Suspend your nymphs about 18-24". If using an indicator to suspend nymphs, select a small indicator! Fishing an Intermediate sinking line with a Damsel nymph or small PT nymph can produce a bent fly rod. The key is SLOW strips! Nothing in Baum Lake is moving fast at this time of year. The water is clear, so the fish have lots of visibility. Use lighter, longer leaders. Delicate presentations will produce more strikes. At times attractor nymphs under indicators works really well, especially where there is current. Baum Lake is an ideal fishing destination for pontoon boats, float tubes and small prams.
Still Water Fact:
Baum Lake is named after world renowned hydro electric pioneer Frank Baum. 1870-1932.
