It was a wonderful opening weekend. I know many fish were caught even though the weather was not perfect. But Monday seemed to be the start of a beautiful season.
There was a hatch today, surprise surprise. And the fish were taking midges!
The fish are spread out all over the lake, I went exploring and that was my finding for now and to be expected for this time of year.
I am finding fish anywhere from 10-20' and some larger ones even deeper. But almost anywhere in the lake if you're in 10-15', using dark tiny size 16, 18 is even better, albinos, you will get bit. There seems to be a good hatch in the morning till about noon so that would be the prime time to go.
The water temperature is 52° at the surface and also at 20 ft down. That's the only depth I measured but I'm going to assume it's relative everywhere.
I foresee that this is going to be a better season than the last. The lake has been very well stocked especially with Desert Springs trout. The weather is getting better. This is a great time to come up and catch the spring trophies.
