Sorry the last report did not get posted, but all I can do is send them in. Since the beginning of the season the fishing has changed for the better, but changed in tactic. The fish have moved out a little and every day is a little different. Latey the best fishing has been in the deeper water around the 25-32 foot water putting the lures down 20-24 feet. Areas that have produced have been from Christmas Bay towards Alligator and McGee both on  the Stormy Flats side and the 395 side. Sometimes it is a Tasmanian bite and other times it is a minnow bite so the Rapalas and others really work. For the Tasmanians keep switching till you find a good one and the Rapalas/minnow colors should imitate rainbows. Frog colors of Tasmanians is where you should start. Great day last Thurs with 15 quality fish in 2 hrs. Good weather and fishing so get up here and join us. ps again   pay attention to the islands and the water close to them. Water level is low and possible boating accidents can happen. GIVE THEM A WIDE BERTH. We should see rising levels soon as warm temps are predicted and even some dangerous flooding coming out of the mtns. Most snow I have seen  in the big mtns in 46 yrs living here.

Fly fishing has been steady.  With the overwhelming midge hatch, the catch ratio has been high.  recently,  lot of the juvenile fish are being caught but bigger fish are crusing around.   with the lake still dropping, fish are still little deeper than usual, hanging out in 16-21 feet zone.   use some split shots to make sure your fly stays at the right depth.  long leader is a must.
