Fishing is picking up with warming surface water temperatures.  Worms or PowerBait fished off the bottom using a slip sinker has been working.  Bobber fishing will be picking up as the surface water continues to warm.  Good flies for stripping include small leeches, crystal buggers, slumpbusters and wooly buggers.  Nymphs such as PT’s, hares ears, zebra midges, soft hackles and chironomids fished under an indicator should be productive. Dry fly fishing should start picking up soon. This lake has been stocked with approximately 2,500 fish this summer.
