Fishing conditions: Fair to Good
Report: The lake is a good springtime bet for good numbers of rainbows stripping Woolly Buggers. However, the lake is very low right now. Balanced Leeches, worm, and midges under an indicator are go-to patterns, but those who know how to fish Zack's leeches or damsels on a sinking line can do very well!
