The lake is now fishing very well. A big turn around in the past week now has some very large fish being brought to the net. Midges in the morning are a definite staple here, fish the red or black Zebra Midges and make sure you have all of the sizes from #14 - 18. Some BWO's are also coming off on the cloudy days, so the smaller black Two Bit Hooker or the Jigged Micro May work well. There have been ants and termites falling in this neck of the woods, the Carpenter Ant and Flying Ant patterns are good patterns, but the dark Missing Link in #12 & 14 can be a key offering when it's going down. Bring all of your smaller Adams and Parachute Adams, you should get a chance to cast over some noses here. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
