Baum Lake Fish Report for 2-2-2013
The fishing at Baum Lake is as good as it gets right now
Baum Lake - Cassel, CA (Shasta County)

Current Lake Conditions: There is no refuting the fishing on Baum lake during the winter months. The very best fly fishing on the "east side" is found at Baum Lake. Anglers are catching rainbows on small midge patterns in #18-22. Dry fly fishing can be amazing on wetish days (think mid week). You will have a great time fishing Baum this week.
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: Fish midges all day! Look for occasional hatches of BWOs and PMDs that produce surface feeding and dry fly opportunities. Stripping and retrieving Leeches on intermediate sinking lines is a great tactic as is suspending #22 black Zebra Midges or Mercer's Gidget under a small indicator. Try a black A.P. on a slow retrieve. There are a lot of scuds in Baum Lake, making various scud patterns an obvious choice. Suggested leader selection consists of 9' 5x and a spool of 6X tippet for dry flies and the smallest nymphs.
Baum Lake is an ideal fishing destination for pontoon boats, float tubes and small prams.
Fishing an Intermediate sinking line with a small PT nymph can produce a bent fly rod. The key is SLOW strips! Nothing in Baum Lake is moving fast. Use lighter, longer leaders. Delicate dry-fly presentations will produce more strikes.
