Fishing Conditions and Hatches:  Good

I don't know if you've noticed but  fair is gone and it's all good , a lot more lake fish have moved up and they're spread throughout the system. The road is still open, walking the bank has gotten better but now they're calling for possible weather by the end of the week. With the sporadic hatches and both planters and lake fish moving upstream try attractor patterns such as San Juan Worms, Prince Nymphs, Copper Johns and streamers. Remember that the fish moving out of Crowley have had a summer of larger food so don't be afraid to use larger patterns.
