Fishing conditions:  Great

Report: We are beginning to see the water boatman hatch going off now on the lower lake and as things warm up the upper lake will as well. Good techniques continue to be dry-dropper setups with a Chubby Chernobyl or salmonfly dry hanging a Dark Lord, Olive Hotspot or black Two Bit Hooker. With the salmonflies coming off, make sure you are using at least 3X on your Chubbies, they will break you off otherwise. We're keeping our eyes peeled for the Callibaetis hatch and the ant falls. This mile-high ranch is a great place to escape the valley heat in the summer. The calendar is pretty full through June, just about every weekend in July and August are available. Give Bryan or Gary a call in Outfitters to get your spot reserved! 800-669-3474
