The lake opened and the fishing was very good. The lake was 70 F at the surface, but with the storms is cooling off rapidly. You will have to go deep to find willing partners. The Lahontans are eating Tui chubs for the time being. Good flies would be Zach's Pyramid Minnow in Tui chub and white. Balanced Leeches tied in lighter colors can work as well. This season is looking to be very good!

Hot Flies:

• Pyramid Beach Leech - #8
• Zack's Cut Bait Midge
• Rich's Moo-Midge - #8
• Mahalo Nymphs
• Popcorn Beetle
• Midnight Cowboy
• Zack's Pyramid Minnow
