Fishing conditions: Good
Report: Good reports from Baum continue, with the weather clearing up this is a great place to go. There are some really nice fish coming to the net and if you keep your eyes open you can get fish chowing on emerging Blue Wing Olives. Good flies will depend upon what fish you are targeting, the stockers will chase Crystal Buggers and swung Zug Bugs, and a small black Balanced Leech is always a good choice here. For the BWOs, bring your S&Ms, ZT's Jig Nations, and BP Weiss Nymphs for nymphs and for dries the Milla Time May BWO and Hackle Stacker Baetis should have you covered. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
