Baum Lake Fishing Report

Fishing conditions: Good
Report: A lot of smaller trout have been stocked at the lake, mostly 8 - 12" fish and they are all super happy to eat your fly. Good flies will depend upon what fish you are targeting, the stockers will chase Crystal Buggers and swung Zug Bugs, and a small black Balanced Leech is always a good choice here. For the BWOs, bring your S&Ms, ZT's Jig Nations, and BP Weiss Nymphs for nymphs and for dries the Milla Time May BWO and Hackle Stacker Baetis should have you covered. We'll keep our finger on the pulse and update the report as we hear more. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
