The lake has a lot of 14-15" Rainbows and Browns with some nicer fish lurking around behind them. Weed through the guarder fish to find a nice trophy! Fish are eating midges, balanced leeches, and BWO's. Good flies are any smaller, black midge pattern like the Zebra Midge, bring a variety of sizes from #16-20. Balanced Leeches in black and olive under an indicator are staples here. If you are tying your own, the smaller patterns like a #14 can be deadly under a small indicator or a dry. Keep some Adams in sizes #14-20 and the CDC BWO in #20 for those dry opportunities. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
