http://www.theflyshop.com/streamreport.htmWater Conditions: STILL Good. Baum Lake has been fishing consistently well for the past few months, with consistent midge activity and good intermediate line fishing with leeches.
Fishing Conditions & Hatches: The midge activity on Baum has been good. Intermediate lines with woolly buggers and other streamer/leech patterns almost always produce fish. The key is sssllloowww strips! The water is clear, so the fish have lots of visibility. Use lighter, longer leaders, delicate presentations with dries and midges, but with sinking lines and streamers, a short, stout leader/tippet is the ticket.

The Fly Shop's Tips:A dry or parasol emerger with a midge dropper suspended a few inches below the surface is often productive on Baum Lake. If all else fails, stripping back wooly buggers on intermediate lines will usually produce fish.
