Fly Fishing has been good at Merrill Lake. You have several options. Work a woolly-bugger or leach pattern under the surface in about 10 feet of water or cast an ant or caddis pattern close to the bank. The Hex hatch should start around the middle of July, that's when the action really starts. I'll let you know when it starts. OH, yes I have been catching fish there. Last week I caught a nice 19 inch brown on a woolly-bugger. There was a midge hatch around 2:30 so I switched to a dry mosquito size16 and caught four in the 15-16 inch range.
