June was very good here, and after the current algae bloom recedes we should see some good fly fishing in late July & August. Currently it is ugly. There are very good numbers of catchable sized browns and rainbows this year and these fish will grow about 2-3 inches this summer. Should be a fair amount of 14-16 inch fish by September.

Weed lines are out to about 14 feet in all areas. Big Hilton is the new McGee Bay these days as the fish adjust to the new low water levels in the lake. Chironomid hatches remain huge on the high pressure days. North Arm is spotty, and locating a clean mud bottom is difficult. Keep your flies as clean as possible, look for a weed free bottom in depths of 14-17 feet.
