Lakes are always your best bet during high or low water years in this area.?? They offer a more stable habitat and are not as influenced by the current conditions we are experiencing.?? In addition to the stability and beautiful settings these areas offer there has been a great effort by the County and local businessman to supply an above average amount of planted quality fish in all of the drive to local Alpine lakes.

My favorite fly for streamer fishing these gorgeous fisheries?Ķthe Drifter's Spruce-A-Bu.?? We have two versions of this pattern (light and dark) that I created and I must say I am partial to the "Kelley Bundy" or blonde style.?? Although the "Mary Ann" dark olive style gets more grabs when it is cloudy or if the sun is low.???? I can't say if the trout love this pattern or hate it, all I know is it gets bit.?? Use it with a full sink or heavy sinking tip line and troll along transition zones like drop-offs, creek inlets, and "corners" of Alpine lakes.??
