Lewiston Lake Fish Report for 2-11-2013
Fishing has been great! Big rainbows going over 18" are common
Lewiston Lake - Lewiston, CA (Trinity County)

Current Lake Conditions: Hot flies have been buggers, leeches and #16 Pheasant Tail Nymphs. #18-22 midges work too! Callibaetis and BWO hatches will put the rainbows on the surface! Best dry fly fishing will happen on cloudy, wet days.
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.
