58 degrees. Some dry fly action happening--mostly in places where the wind pushes insects...a quill brown in #14 or #16 tossed towards shore is hard to beat if fish are working an area. Nymph and indicator fishing has been good right along the shoreline--look for structure and overhang. Have also done well stripping in a beadhead woolly bugger on sinking line , and can usually pick up a few trolling...but for true action, stick around until the sun goes down and throw something big over the shallows--a beadhead bugger or muddler...on dry line--sunk and then stripped, and hang on! Took a friend up fishing, he worked an area over with a #1 Blue Fox spinner in silver just after sundown and caught five fish for five casts...the sixth fell off at the boat, and he missed hits on the next two casts...They're hungry for sculpin, but of the seven or eight I've seen cleaned only one had a sculpin in its belly. Wind can hamper efforts on this lake, particularly in the late afternoon, but it usually turns glassy after dark, and even during the day there's always a pocket or two of sane water to work.
Darndest thing--my buddy was trying power bait for a while, watching me get hits and land a couple of fish, and at one point reeled his line in--and a fish swam up and attacked his SINKER, dodging the offending powerbait. It grabbed the weight, shook its head, and was gone. It didn't take much convincing beyond that to get him to take that "trout crack" off his line and start chucking hardware...
