It was a busy weekend here to say the least, but most anglers did well on trout and lots of perch too. The midge hatches are coming off daily and should really get going by Mother’s Day weekend which is typical each year. Most fish are being caught in the 11-14′ range with some as deep as 17′ coming to the net. It was not an on fire bite over the weekend, but the fish are there and they are feeding. Midges seem to be working best with the fish switching to larger offerings like leeches later in the day. They then seem to go back on the midges into the evening. The fish have been ranging from 14-20″ in length and are looking very healthy this year again. You may have to do some repositioning of the boat if you find yourself getting into a heavy perch bite. The perch are raiding the shallower mud bottoms and eating midges like crazy and at times are overrunning the feeding trout. A short move can change that situation and get you back on the trout bite. #18 Broken Back Copper Tiger, #18 Broken Back Dark Tiger, #18 Broken Back Zebra, #18 Broken Back Gillie, #12 Level Crystal Leech, and #18 Gillie Dark and Light Chironomid Pupa are best flies.
