Current Lake Conditions: Definitely, check this lake out. Fishing on Lewiston is largely undiscovered except for the few who fish here at this time of year. Fishing has been good for the few anglers who cast #16 Pheasant Tail Nymphs, Callibaetis emergers, #16-18 Adams. All rainbow trout going 14" to some as big as 22" and FAT!
This fishery is such a sleeper in January. There are many, many rainbow trout in this lake and the fishing is almost always good during the weeks of January. Look for the best fishing north of the marina. Find current and you should find rainbows. Conditions this week are excellent. Expect the best fishing mid day.
Fish #16-18 Pseudo Mays, Lightnin's Biot Baetis in #16-18, Zebra Midges in various colors #16-18. Callibaetis have been hatching when weather conditions are wet. A good callibaetis pattern is a #14 Pheasant Tail Nymph. A good dry is Mercer's Poxyback Callibaetis emerger.
Stripping and retrieving nymphs, leeches and buggers is a very solid technique on Lewiston. Use a sinking line! A good sinking line to use is RIO's Big Boy 24" Sink Tip.
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: A productive technique is suspending #22 red zebra midges or Gidgets under a treated piece of poly yarn. A single BB shot will get the flies down deep. About 7-8 feet. When using indicators, the takes can be difficult to see and detect. Successful indicator anglers keep the flies in the water, sometimes letting the drift extend all the way to the backing, then low and slow retrieve. Sink tip fly lines allow anglers to retrieve leeches, buggers and small nymphs fast or slow. This lake is best fished from a motorized boat, pram or pontoon boat. Float tubes are fine if you are okay with walking back up to the parking lot after the slow current of Lewiston pushes you south of the boat ramp.
