Manzanita Lake Fish Report

12-5-2008

Water Conditions:

Fishing good! There are some very good callibaetis hatches and midges going on right now, though with the cooler nights the callibaetis may start to taper off over the next couple of weeks.

Fishing Conditions

We love to visit this high mountain gem! Damsels, Dragons, Midges, Caddis, Callibaetis, and terrestrials (ants/beetles) all can provide action! Expect callibaetis nymphs and midge pupa to be most productive here.

Flies:

?Ģ Gidgets
- Brown
- Olive
?Ģ Damsel Nymphs
?Ģ Callibaetis
- nymphs
- emergers
- adults
?Ģ Leeches and buggers
?Ģ Terrestrials
- Beetles
- Ants

The Fly Shop's?? Tips: As temperatures warm, look for good hatches of callibaetis mayflies and flying ants (actually, they're termites, but the fish don't care what we call them, they just like to eat them!)
