Something to be aware of - They are starting to put cows inside the fences. This is a normal occurrence, as grazing (historically done by Deer and Antelope) is an important part of the ecosystem. They move the cows every week or so, so it can affect water clarity and the amount of drifting weeds - Be on the lookout. The slime weed “migration” worsens the closer you get to the lake.

The migratory Browns and stocked Rainbows are now spread throughout the public water. The Tricos are going strong, with the female emergence and Caddis migration around 7 AM. Around 9:30 AM the PMD hatch is dying, but the Trico egg-laying begins. Evenings are good for male Tricos, Caddis hatches, and Caddis egg-laying.
