Yes, it’s hot up here too but we have a beautiful lake breeze to cool things off. I think everyone is enjoying relaxing in our Adirondack chairs along the lakeshore.
As for the fishing, the Hex hatch is definitely winding down, sorry to say. There are still a few Hexs coming off and the trout are still interested in the Usual and the Heron fly. What’s next? Well, the Light Cahills will continue, there are Caddis and when you just can’t figure out what they’re taking, put on a Black Ant. As for trolling, try a Black Woolybugger, Hornberg, or a “93”. The bass are always a lot fun when the trout fishing gets slow, especially for the kids. The bass are located closer to the shoreline and they’ll hit almost anything.
I’m hearing good things about the Trophy Stretch. The fish are looking up! The dry fly action has been great. You might want to try an Elk Hair Caddis or a Parachute Adams and subsurface is always good, so try a Caddis Pupa with a Soft Hackle Hare’s Ear as a dropper. Water flows are great and our water is nice and cool thanks to bottom release dams.
Tuesday, OMR, a few friends & I are heading to Terrell Dam for a cookout, followed by intense trout fishing. Can’t wait! Lobsters, steamers, burgers, cocktails, and Doodle Bugs. Brookies love the Doodle Bug.
If you’re looking to escape the heat, head north to Pittsburg. It’s Cool Baby!!
