Fishing conditions: Good
Report: Baetis and Callibaetis hatches are going strong on Lewiston. Look for the sailboat adults hatching, and fish emergers & cripple patterns like the #16 Last Chance Crippler or Poxyback Emerger. If these are too big, go with a smaller Parachute Adams. When the fish aren't on a hatch, fish small, light indicators and small bugs, Sweet Peas, black Micro Perdigons, Jumper Cables, and small Pheasant Tail nymphs fished three to five feet deep. The takes are subtle. Pheasant Tails in #14 - 16, Zack's ZT Zallibaetis in #16, the Milla Time May in Callibaetis and #16 - 20 Adams should be in your box. Standard stillwater fare always works up here, so don't leave your Zebra Midges and Balanced Leeches at home.
The lake is a good option if you are in the area, with intermittent releases from Trinity Lake, fishing right below the outflow can produce some consistent hookups. With the amount of Damsels and Dragonflies in this system, Wooly Buggers stripped in brown, black and olive, and Balanced Leeches the same color stripped or fished under an indicator are solid approaches. And Zebra Midges in #16 - 18, black and red, are a staple here. We've got guides who can get you out on Lewiston, give Bryan a call to set up a trip!
