Look for a decrease in the amount of weekly plantings here this month. The majority of the "drive to" alpine lakes in this region are managed as "put and take" fisheries. If you are fortunate enough to fish an area that has been recently stocked, you can have a great time. If you get on the water at the tail end of a planting cycle you will have a great time fishing, but not much catching?ĶStreamer fishing works best for these opportunistic trout. Use patterns that contrast best for your current conditions. Bright day-bright color/dark day dark colors. We designed a fly called the Agent Orange that is absolute poison for these hatchery fish. Cast it with a full or heavy sink tip in these areas and be prepared to get bent!
