The lake is in full spring mode already. The weather has basically turned into spring a month early. Unless we get another storm system rolling through later in March it looks like sunblock and wet wading!!! Seriously it is time to get out there. If you like the spring bite and the lake its time, go, go, go….
Fish are cruising the shallows all around the lake. The south beaches have been doing well. With the high pressure and sunny days, the deeper beaches are going to help get to where the fish are. Shallow bays are going to fish good for an hour or so and then the fish will move out. Try to fish deeper and in deeper places if you can.
Stripping the Midnight Cowboy or the Martini Olive Wooly Worms are the way to go early and late and just about any time. Our guides have all but put the indicator rods away in search of some cruising giants. White ghost Tadpoles have also been working well fished on a fast sinking shooting head right on the bottom.
Indicator rigs are working great as well. You have to fish; you can’t just throw it out there and have a beer. You have to fish – mend, keep slack out, rod tip down, pay attention. Move your flies when it’s calm. Do this and double your chances of getting a take down. The Albino Wino in size 12 has been killing it. GT’s and Maholo nymphs as well.
