The Spots have moved into the shallows to spawn and the fishing has been stellar! Fish are coming to Float N' Flies and Balanced Leeches. Fish towards the banks focusing on rock walls, points and even the back of the coves. A sinking line fished toward the shore so you can bounce a crawdad pattern or baitfish pattern down the banks will also be effective. Bounce a Concussion Cray, Jiggy Worm or Grim Reaper on the rocks or strip the Tui Chub Pyramid Minnow.

Hot Flies:

• Wooly Buggers
• Float-n-Flies
• Dead Drop Minnow
• Zack's Stillwater Balanced Leech
