Patience is Desired for Fishing on Three Creek Lake
8-3-2024
The Fly Fishers Place
Patience paid off nicely for me last night at Three Creek Lake. When my friend Chester and I got there about 5:30 there were a whole lot of Callibaetis Spinners hovering over the lake and hitting the water, and fish increasingly fed on them for about 40 minutes but I will say that the risers were spread out and inconsistent with how many bugs on the water. I got a very strong and well conditioned rainbow on a Black Butte Callibaetis. Chester stripped soft hackles and got a few takes and one to the net.
At sunset the lake lit up nicely with an expected black caddis hatch and I ended up getting a bunch of fish on a #16 black X Caddis.
Morning to early afternoon has been reporting better Callibaetis hatches.
Damsels, Ants, Beetles, Red Hippie Stompers, Chironomids and Balanced Leeches. If you troll in a tube with a hover or intermediate line, a Sheep Creek Special, orange head Olive Bugger, Flashback PT are the good ones to use.
