Water Conditions:

Fishing at Baum Lake has been good to great, with cool weather and recent stalking. Damsel and Callibaetis Nymphs have been the most productive lately, but on days when the wind isn't blowing too hard there have been good reports of dry fly fishing.

Fishing Conditions:

Intermediate lines with Damsel nymphs or small buggers always produce fish. The key is SLOW strips! The water is clear, so the fish have lots of visibility. Use lighter, longer leaders. Delicate presentations will produce more strikes.

Flies:

?Ģ Ruby Eye Leech
?Ģ Crystal Buggers #12
?Ģ Zack-Attack Damsels
?Ģ Stillwater Nymphs
?Ģ Fox's Callibeeottis #16
?Ģ Zallibaetis #14
?Ģ Griffiths Gnat #18-20
?Ģ Zuggers All Colors
?Ģ Tilt Wing Duns BWO #20
?Ģ Parachute Adams #16-20

The Fly Shop's?? Tips: A dry or parasol emerger with a midge dropper suspended a few inches below the surface is often productive on Baum Lake. If all else fails, stripping olive damsel nymphs on intermediate lines will usually produce fish.
