Water Conditions:Good to Great! It has been a bit crowded on weekends, but the ants are here and there is a great late Callibaetis hatch.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches:We love to visit this high mountain gem! Damsels, Dragons, Midges, Caddis, Callibaetis, and terrestrials (ants/beetles) all can provide action! Expect callibaetis nymphs and midge pupa to be most productive here.

Flies:
?Ģ Midge Pupa
?Ģ Damsel Nymphs and Spent adults
?Ģ Callibaetis nymphs, emergers, and adults
?Ģ Elk Hair Caddis #14
?Ģ Leeches and buggers
?Ģ Profile BWO Spinner 18
?Ģ Flying Ants
?Ģ Small PT Nymphs
?Ģ Foam Beetles

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??As temperatures warm, look for good hatches of callibaetis mayflies and flying ants (actually, they're termites, but the fish don't care what we call them, they just like to eat them!)
