This lake has a lot of Callibaetis and fishing a small, #18 Pheasant Tail nymph on an I-Line or under an indicator an work very well. Look for cruising fish and if they are eating up to, use a #18 or #20 Adams.
The lake is a good option if you are in the area, with intermittent releases from Trinity Lake, fishing right below the outflow can produce some consistent hookups. With the amount of Damsels and Dragonflies in this system, Wooly Buggers stripped in brown, black and olive, and Balanced Leeches the same color stripped or fished under an indicator are solid approaches. And Zebra Midges in #16 - 18, black and red, are a staple here. We've got guides who can get you out on Lewiston, give Bryan a call to set up a trip!
