Some heavy perch in some areas like the north arm of the lake, and likewise some heavy trout in other areas as well. 13-18′ seems to be the hot ticket currently for depth. Some monster midge hatches have been taking place as is usually the case around this time each year. Once you find the fish that are actively feeding, they go on the bite big time. We haven’t had to move the boats in 8 hours of fishing in the last couple of days. Some nice quality browns, cutts, and rainbows are now in the mix and loading up on midges. Try moving your flies higher up off the bottom as the morning meets the afternoon. #18 Broken Back Copper Tiger, #18 Broken Back Dark Tiger, #18 Broken Back Zebra, #18 Broken Back Gillie, #12 Level Crystal Leech, and #18 Gillie Dark and Light Chironomid Pupa are best flies.
