Lake levels at Davis remain high with excellent water clarity and temperatures also in the 50s. Trout are starting to move closer to the surface and in toward the shoreline. By the end of the month, fishing should be picking up significantly. Mallard Cove and Fairview Point have been the most productive spots for shore anglers. Orange and rainbow PowerBait are performing best, along with inflated nightcrawlers. A leader length of 3 to 4 feet is recommended for bait fishing. Fly anglers have been focusing on the west shore near Freeman Creek and Cow Creek, picking up fish under indicators set about 18 inches deep. Small blood midges are proving to be the most effective fly pattern.
