We have been doing really well sight fishing from shore at Sawmill. The lake is in great shape and the fish are as well. The little extra elevation and the depth of the lake help this fishery during the summer months. Hatches include Callabaetis, Midges and Damsels. There are also a fair number of Pine Beetles and Carpenter Ants that get blown into the water when the wind picks up. For anyone who would like to work on their dry fly fishing and cast to rising fish we are offering guided trips to Sawmill again this year. It is under new management and we have been granted access to take our clients fishing there again. We have had some really good days over the past week and look forward to the weeks to come.
