ook for some chunky Oregon planters that ran the Gauntlet and survived a recent trout derby. Fish this transition into the lake; or small river section below the powerhouse using dry/dropper rigs. Lake levels have stabilized, and access near the transition section is very good. The short river section has been best for numbers of smaller planted rainbows, with some wild browns. Stimulators, hi-vis para BWO’s, or hi-vis caddis may be used as the upper fly-use crystal olive caddis larva, flashback PT’s, Assassins, broken back or crystal tiger & zebra midges as your dropper bead head nymph. Tubing the section from the launch ramp, up to the inlet section is the best. Streamers like Loebergs, Agent Orange, Crystal leeches, & Spruce-A-Bu’s will get you into some decent browns, & holdover bows in the rez proper. Use a full sinking, or heavy sink tip line to get down 10-15 feet quickly. You can also fish “Crowley midge style” using an Under-cator strike detector in the rez proper near the drop-offs. Fish chironomid patterns below an Under-cator. Gillies, broken back midges, crystal emergers & pupa patterns. Tiger & zebra midges are always a solid choice for your larva pattern.Little, or no hydro power generation recently. The LADWP will “flush” the feeder pipe out periodically to remove ice build up, and stagnant water. This can put the fish down until it stabilizes.
