Current Lake Conditions:
The rainbows would eat anything that was put in front of them! Suspending red Copper Johns, #14-16 Olive Micro Mayflies, #12-16 Pheasant Tail Nymphs all produced numbers of hook-ups! Baum Lake is full of rainbow trout that will readily chase and eat streamers! Go while it's hot!

The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Fishing an Intermediate sinking line with a Damsel nymph or small PT nymph can produce a bent fly rod. The key is SLOW strips! Nothing in Baum Lake is moving fast at this time of year. The water is clear, so the fish have lots of visibility. Use lighter, longer leaders. Delicate presentations will produce more strikes. At times attractor nymphs under indicators works really well, especially where there is current. Baum Lake is an ideal fishing destination for pontoon boats, float tubes and small prams.

Still Water Fact:
Baum Lake is named after world renowned hydro electric pioneer Frank Baum. 1870-1932.
