The north arm of the lake lit up big time recently and although I won't call it epic, it was close.?? We had several hours each day this last week were the Sungicators were taking a dive about every 1-5 minutes!?? The afternoon winds are as usual the culprit that ends the steady snap. ??Sandy Pt. and Alligator Pt. have been spotty as well as the Six Bays area, but you will still find great "catching" here under the right conditions.?? The lake is beginning to turn over and is looking like split pea soup in the middle sections.?? The water remains very clean, with minimal weed and insignificant algae drifts in the North Arm and McGee Bay or Hilton Bays (keep a close eye out here).??

Go deep people! Seek them rascals out in 14-17 feet and ye shall prosper.?? Tougher on the tubers due to the long length of the leaders.?? Us boat folks are doing just dandy and if you do not have a flat bottom or flats boat you can rent one at the Crowley Lake Camp and fish in comfort.

Our gilled chironomids (gillies) and crystal emergers-dark heads seem better lately #18, 20 as the upper.?? Use a #16, 18 tiger or zebra as the lower.?? Some damsel nymph activity observed the last few days and we have witnessed some savage splashes during the mornings.?? Have some olive Punk Perch or Agent Oranges #12, 14 as well as our damsel fly nymphs handy if you wish to tug streamers.?? Still water nymphing is rocking after 8 am so troll the larger flies until then and you will get grabs.

"Fill" Therrien guided Jerry & Cathy Johnson from Castaic, CA to some great fishing recently and these couple-O-hot sticks came up with a special brown caught while using the still water nymphing method.

Ed Williams from San Diego, CA had his best day ever on Crowley with us and he claimed after the guide trip he may need medical attention or the skills of a masseuse due to a sore wrist!??
