Best time to fish is early and late in the day. Areas to fish are at the fish hatchery, Blue Lakes road, and upstream of the hatchery. If you can get out steelheading this week, try the Mad. The Mad flyfishes best at flows below 800 cfs. Best to fish during the week.
Fishing is fair and improving.
Slow to medium rate sinking lines with dark streamers are the ticket. Possibly some midge action in the afternoon on warmer days. No Callibaetis yet. Good areas to fish are near the dam, and in the flats near the creek mouth. This lake is located west of Manzanita Lake about 20 miles.
