Hosmer Lake is still a good bet, water temps are high 40’s to mid 50’s depending on which part of the lake you are in and what the night time lows were. Brookies are schooling for the spawn and Cutthroat and Rainbows are spread out over both lakes and the channel. We got fish on Red 2 Bit’s, Wormy’s, Leeches and Scuds this week. Fish were rising here and there, most likely to waterboatman when it was aggressive and splashy, but the sips were and remain a mystery as to what they eating. Be prepared for stripping leeches and nymphs on a Camo Intermediate line and also fishing under an indicator.
