Current Lake Conditions: Fishing has been up and down this week. Windy conditions had most anglers sidelined and sunny skies have kept the rainbows down deep mid day. Best results happen early in the morning, before the sun is drilling the depths. The late afternoon session has been good for anglers retrieving Woolly Buggers and Leeches.
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.
Road Conditions: No restrictions at this time. Call 1-800.427.7623 for up to date Northern California Road Conditions.
