FISHING: Good
Fishing was GOOD this past week. The water level has held steady and is around 0.7 meters today. Water color and clarity is good and the weir at the end of the lake has been open. The Mayflies, Caddis flies and Stoneflies have been hatching and there has been good activity for dry fly anglers at the top end of the river. Trout anglers have excellent access to the pools, so you don’t need a drift boat to be successful. Fly anglers have been reporting good success with March Brown, Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear and Prince nymphs, with or without bead heads. Black Wooly Buggers have also been good for the larger Brown trout. Mornings and evenings have been the best times to fish. Spin fishermen can get some trout action on Len Thompson spoons, Roostertails, Blue Fox and Mepps spinners upstream of Skutz Falls and below the 70.2 CNR Bridge.
