Jon Baiocchi, local guide helped us out with the report this week. Blood Midges are hatching in the mornings around 8:30am and that is usually followed up by a Callabaetis hatch at 11:00am. There are numerous ways to approach the fishing at Davis right now. Maybe the most attractive method is chasing big Rainbows in shallow water in the mornings eating Blood Midges on the surface. It is very rare to get this opportunity but it is happening now. You can still use your boat for transportation to get to a shoreline that is out of or has little wind. The most important thing is to not beat the water. Have patience and scout for feeding fish and tread lightly. The other option is to have one of the area guides that are on to this pattern show you the ropes.
