Notes: Many fish the lake with bait and trolling hardware is popular. It is also an excellent lake in which to float tube. Bugger patterns are popular as well as dry midge patterns and mosquitos, particularly in the morning and evening hours. During August, a damsel fly hatch comes off within the shallows. Try using a damsel nymph with a callibaetis nymph dropper with a Type II sinking line. The Callibaetis hatch will continue on through October. The wild fish are generally within the flats as the planted trout are schooled within the middle of the lake. | ||
