Water Conditions: Fishing well, some dry fly action in the afternoons. Increasing midge activity, and some baetis.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: The midge activity on Baum is usually good. Intermediate lines with woolly buggers and other streamer/leech patterns almost always produce fish. The key is SLOW strips! The water is clear, so the fish have lots of visibility. Use lighter, longer leaders, delicate presentations with dries and midges, but with sinking lines and streamers, a short, stout leader/tippet is the ticket.

Flies:
?Ģ Ruby Eye Leech
?Ģ J Fairs Wiggle Nymphs
?Ģ Crystal Buggers (blk., olv., white) #12
?Ģ PT nymphs #16-20
?Ģ Parachute Adams #18-22
?Ģ Midgeling #18-20
?Ģ Zebra Midge #16-20
?Ģ Griffiths Gnat #18-20
?Ģ Frostbite Midge #18
?Ģ Tilt Wing Duns BWO #20
?Ģ Last Chance Cripple, Baetis #20

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??A dry or parasol emerger with a midge dropper suspended a few inches below the surface is often productive on Baum Lake. If all else fails, stripping back wooly buggers on intermediate lines will usually produce fish.
