Fishing has slowed some on the lake. The Float 'N Fly bite has not panned out recently. You will need to get down to the bottom along the banks, anglers bouncing crayfish patterns along the bottom are doing best. The Titan Sonar Sink 3/5/7 line is a good choice to bomb big flies and get down quickly. The Warpath Whammy Craw in olive or orange can be a good pattern. Fish will eat Clousers as well, don't forget those. Take a spin up into the tributaries and you will find trout eating Blue Wing Olives, dry dropper setups with a #16 Sweet Pea, the Twisted Tactical Mayfly or a Perdigon will work well. We are looking forward to the spring topwater bite.
