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. Sunny days are bringing some small hatches allowing some good opportunities at dry fly fishing. 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!
