The lake is warming and the fish will go deeper as we head towards summer. You can still get bass on the Float 'n Fly if you fish at least eight feet deep The Jones Valley up into the Squaw and Pit arms are good places to look for fish. The lake is nearing full pool and a lot of fish will congregate in the back coves near structure like willows and deadfalls, look on points as well for cruising fish. A sinking line with a crayfish pattern fished back towards the bank and as deep as you can get it is effective as well. The lake will begin warming over the next few weeks, this is the time to get after the bass with your fly rod while it lasts. We have guides who can get you out, give Bryan a call to set up a trip!
Hot Flies:
• Wooly Buggers
• Float-n-Flies
• Dead Drop Minnow
• Zack's Stillwater Balanced Leech
