Baum Lake Fish Report for 6-16-2013
The fishing is good at Baum Lake in the AM or late afternoon hours
Baum Lake - Cassel, CA (Shasta County)

Website
Current Lake Conditions: Best fishing has been in the early AM hours, then again near sunset. There is always something going on at this destination. Water conditions are good and there's a bunch of rainbows and even a few brown trout in the waters of Baum Lake.
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: Fish midges all day! Look for occasional hatches of BWO's and PMD's 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.
