Water Conditions: Opens to fishing March 23. A couple of Fly Shop employees fished the lake yesterday and said the fishing was un-believable. There are still a few open dates remaining, but not many, as this is perhaps our most popular private water destination.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: Most of the fish, rainbows and browns, are of trophy proportions and have been slamming streamers and leech patterns with a vengeance. Warm weather should also bring an increase in Callibaetis activity through the spring.

Flies: Overly's Spotlight Callibaetis #16 * Parachute Ants #16* Foam Beetles #12-16 * Midge Pupa #16-20* Crystal Buggers* Lawson's Thorax Dun-BWO * Griffith's Gnat * Harrops last chance cripple, both Callibaetis and Baetis, Hatchmaster Midge, Randy's Belly Boat fly Orange, Yellow ZOnker, CH Firetiger bugger, Filet O' Flesh String Leech fly in Pink.

The Fly Shop's Tips: Floating line as well as a full compliment of sinking lines is useful here, as the fish will suspend at varying levels depending on water temperatures and available food sources. There are some really huge trout here-recent sightings by clients and staff have confirmed the existence of rainbows over 12 pounds!
