Westside Lakes Fish Report 07-2-07

It hasn't gotten so warm that things are shutting down, just warm enough to effect a mid-day lull.?? Rattlesnake in the evenings is a good bet, usually through the summer, offering some dry fly action at times, with leeches and bloodworms always a productive choice.

Another summertime tradition is night fishing at Pass Lake for big Browns and ???Bows, fishing leeches, buggers and streamers tight to bankside structure.?? Later this month look for things to close down (too warm), at which time the wait for fall cooling begins.

To keep the Stillwater love alive, seek the relief of elevation, as in go-Alpine.?? Leech at White Pass is surely popular and prolific and only just starting to get going.?? Coldwater and Merrill (Hexagenias due very soon!) to the south are excellent mid-summer destinations as well.?? And of course, there's countless other higher-elevation lakes, drive-to or hike-to, with trout in need of furthering their education.?? It's April at 4500 feet!
