Current Lake Conditions:
Good fishing happening at Baum Lake. Fly anglers are successfully fishing small nymphs under small indicators, like #18 Micro Mayflies in black, red or brown. Stripping wooley buggers will get the rainbows chase and some fish will come to the surface for just about any #16-18 cripple mayfly.

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.
