Fishing Report 8/2/09

Fishing conditions and Hatches:  Good
Hatches: small midges early/late, Callibaetis in late mornings on the Twins.
Fish can be caught  with stripping, dry, dry dropper or a stealthy indicator set up.  Key is to find feeding fish.

The best fly fishing is still found in Mamie and the Twin Lakes.  Lower and Middle Twin are best for fishing dry’s and dry/dropper with Callibaetis, Adams or Black Gnats with Callibaetis nymph or small midge droppers.Callibaetis are showing on all three of the Twin Lakes on calm mornings.  Lake Mamie can be fished similarly to Twin.  Use 5x or less,  9 ft or longer  leaders.  Target rising fish.Alternatively, pull a Small bugger, Callibaetis nymph or both around the  shallower dropoffs.  Keep tippet light.

Mary and George are fair for stripping but you can hook bigger fish.  Use Buggers or Doc’s TL Specials or Leach Patterns.
Lake Mary and George can also be fished with dry’s in sheltered areas (for mostly smaller fish).
