Hosmer Lake was pretty slow for us yesterday. We caught about 10 or 12 fish on various nymphs, with a red ice cream cone and a black double bead CDC assassin as the other top producer. 
Damsel nymphs (and MAYBE adults), scuds, water boatman, leeches, ants and beetles will be go to bugs on Homser and believe me, not every day will be as challenging as yesterday. That’s fishing right. Also worth noting, fish are starting to spread out off the upper lake channel and moving in to the channel more and more between the lakes. Fall is coming and the fish know it.
