Best Patterns

fritz damsel, olive frazer nymph, red diawl bach, olive buzzer, dry daddies, black or olive cdc, orange blobs.

 

Boats are fishing exceptionally well. Bank fishing is difficult despite large numbers of fish rising.

Best method from boats is slow sink line with damsel nymph/diawl bachs or buzzers fished at 6 - 10 foot.

Dry daddies, adult damsels and cdc emergers are best from bank.

 

The new weedcutter blade is arriving at the end of the week so cutting will start before the end of June.

 

Next stocking  June 11th and 15th
