Fishing Report & Conditions: Fair-Good
Crowds are lighter, but hatches are becoming inconsistent with rising water temperatures – Monitor the water temperature to avoid fish fatality. Mornings are best; big lake midges up near the dam are consistent, but perch fry may take over. Slower water sections have strong Callibaetis and Damsel hatches. Light Trico hatches should improve soon. PMDs are still active mid-morning, with sporadic caddis activity throughout the day. Evenings see caddis and male Trico activity.
