Overcast days can be awesome. With lots of weeds, precise casts are needed to place your fly between the weedbeds. Long fine leaders and stealth are needed to fool these wary rainbows and browns. Keep wading to a minimum to save this fragile watershed. Manzanita Lake, Lassen Park Clear, cool.
Fishing is fair.
Cold weather is pushing the midge hatch to midday. Trout are working the emergers and dries when the wind is down. Morning fishing is spotty due to cold weather. In the afternoon, fish callibaetis or damsel nymphs. Streamers fished on floating or slow sinking lines are also working very well right now.
