The north channel and McGee Creek and the bay have been the best areas. Some fish biting around Sandy Point too. The Hiltons have a ton of fish as well that are mixed in size. When the wind stirs the water in the afternoons, the fish move in and feed on the flats and in the channels. Midges, perch fry, and callibaetis imitations have been getting the job done. Some bigger fish have been chasing fry throughout the lake, so changing it up to slow stripping can get you into some big ones. Best Flies: Parallel Assassin Dark and Light – 16; Assassin Dark and Light – 16; Parallel Punk Perch Dark and Light – 14, 16; Broken Back Dark Zebra Midge- 16; Crystal Tiger Midge Long -18; Broken Back Copper Tiger Midge – 18; Crystal Copper Tiger Midge – 18; Crystal Midge Pupa Black – 20; Crystal Caddis Larva Olive Copper – 18; Punk Perch Dark and Light – 14, 16; Damsel Nymph Dark and Light; Flashback Pheasant Tail Tungsten Black Head – 14, 16, 18.
