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 indi...

The last couple weeks of April were good to me on this lake; nothing over 16" but quite a few action-packed days. I usually fish in the afternoon/early evening, trolling a small muddler or a woolly bu...

Mountain is warming up--have had luck with a size 14 or 16 olive-bodied paradun toward evening--mostly smaller cutts and silvers, but an occasional 12" cutt. I am yet to catch a rainbow out of this l...
