Lewiston Lake Fish Report for 6-16-2013
Lewiston is a great lake to fish especially when the Callibaetis and/or Carpenter Ants are around
Lewiston Lake - Lewiston, CA (Trinity County)

Current Lake Conditions: What a great fishery this lake is. Good cold water keeps these fish feisty and hungry. Callibaetis hatches are still occurring. On some days, the carpenter Ants can be found stuck in the surface and guess who is eating them?
Go check the fishing out on Lewiston. There are some seriously big rainbows here. Some go well over 22". Expect good fishing almost any day of the week!
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.
