The fall is cooling the higher elevations and Baum Lake will be cooling as we head into October. This lake fishes great in the fall as fish gorge on whatever they can get their mouths around while the hatches become fewer and more sparse. For now, the Blue Wing Olive hatches are the prominent insects moving around, S&Ms in #18, black or olive, the BP Weiss Nymph, Sweet Peas and Mercer's Jiggy Micro May in #18 are super effective. While we are still on this side of December, Water Boatmen are still around and will entice some fish to abandon any pretense of concealment. Theo's Boatman is a good fly and can be fished on a floating line, swung and stripped, or in the deeper pools use an I-Line. Balanced Leeches in black and olive under an indicator are staplese here. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
