The Lakes are all good now, with East and Paulina seeing good Beetle, Hopper and Ant fishing, and still a fair number of Callibaetis on East. This week at East the fish loved the Glitter Flag Ant, Pink Hoppers and THESE 2 Callibaetis: The Extended Body Callibaetis (its the white one with the Adams style wings) and Harrop’s Captive Dun. Early in the hatch watch if the rise forms leave bubbles. NO? Use the emerger. Yes. Use the Adult. Purple Haze #16 has also been a strong fish catcher.
Paulina Callibaetis are not as strong as East, But there are some so keep an eye out. Beetles and Hoppers have been awesome. Balanced Leeches and 2 Bit Hookers and Black Double Down’s under the Indicator are working super well. Fish seem to really be attracted to Hot Orange beads on the leeches.
