Water Conditions:
The lake is very high and coming down slowly last couple of days. Water temps about perfect 56-57 F and weed growth subsurface are about a month ahead of schedule. Most areas have at least 2 ft of weeds on bottom. 4-6 in some. Water is still very clear but some flecks and small clumps of the 'green menace' getting started.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
Good to excellent, midge hatches remain strong. There are still fish at Sandy Point but they have departed Leighton and McGee save very very deep. Green Banks is now the fleet's area of choice but it is a double hatch, one very early and another after the 9am arrival guys give up and go home. Larvae early switching to black, black with green flashback Optimidges or Copper beadhead Zebras.
Like Perch . . . bring your stringer . . . some real pigs between the Bows and Browns.
Recommended Flies:
Dries: Not enough Calibaetis to bother.
Nymphs: Dubbed head Black Optimidges with green flashback #16, Bead Head Black Zebra Midge, Copper Tiger Small, Blood worms early to greet fish stuck to bottom.
Streamers: Nothing stands out patterwise, just be sure and get it down to bottom and strip slowly.
