For the fly fishers in boats or float tubes the best areas have been Lightning Tree, Fairview Point, Mosquito Cove, and along Five Tree Point shoreline.  Stripping Jay Fair's Wiggle tails in Olive and Black have been good along with nymphing Chironomid and midge patterns.  Waning Callibaetis hatches have also picked up some fish where there are lots of weeds such as the Mosquito Cove area.  Highly recommended that you use nothing less than 4x leader or tippet here as the takes are aggressive.  As the weeds start to disappear now with the colder temps those trolling hardware have had lots of success with Needlefish, Kastmasters, Wedding Rings, and small Dick Nites.  Best areas for the boat guys have been Mallard Cove to Grizzly.  Big Rainbows here around 18 inches.
