Water Conditions: The lake is still high but continuing to drop. Down about 6 ft from peak. Water temps about perfect 56-57 F and weed growth subsurface continues to increase everwhere. Algae is on the increase and hasn't effected fishing much yet but it will be nasty in a couple of weeks.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Okay & excellent water temps. Weeds are everywhere & have made for the fish not being concentrated anywhere. Fish are spread out all along Green Banks and out in the center and along the old channel in the north arm. You've got to "shop" and keep moving to get anything going. Stripping is getting better as fish are suspended with a little Daphnia going.

Recommended Flies:

Dries: Not enough Calibaetis to bother.

Nymphs: Dubbed head Black Optimidges with green flashback #16, , Copper Tiger Small, Blood worms , bright red or Albino Baron early then darker ( Red Baron) later when sun is overhead.

Streamers: Get some flash and red in there to be seen in a green world.
