Good reports for numbers with a few hold over DFG brood fish and IAG/Alpers rainbows showing up. Tubing these waters this time of year requires a full sinking line and flashy streamer patterns with some red or orange. May on the lower alpine lakes historically brings the larger browns out. Fish the low light periods near creek inlets and trees stumps. As the days get longer and the waters warm the "elusive ones" will move deeper and become more photosensitive making it far more difficult to catch them on the fly. Either of the Twin Lakes, Bridgeport would be my choice to hunt a brownzilla during the month of May.
