Water Conditions:
The weather, water, and fishing are all heating up. Water temps are up to 65 degrees on the surface and 55 to 57 degrees at the pivotal 9 to 15 foot area.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
The fishing is still average but definitely getting better. Stillwater nymphing or "midging" has been the most effective of late. The fish are still on the move so you should be as well. Buckeye Bay has been the most steady midging in 9 to 15 feet of water. Rainbow Point and near the dam has also been producing good fish in the afternoons. I have not seen any damsels and the callibeatis are spotty, but hopefully not for long. Streamer fishing has been up and down, but always worth a shot for the res monsters!

Recommended Flies:
Midges:
Red blood midges, #14-#16, Grey and Black Zebra Midges #16-18, Green Optimidges #16-18, Red and Black Midges #14-18, Purple Midges #16-18, Callibeatis Nymphs #12-16
Attractors: Red Copper Johns #14-16, Pheasent Tails #12-16

Guides Hint: Keep moving until you find fish. Look for fish rising, bottom structure, insect activity or other anglers hooking up. Strip slowly and close to the bottom, sometimes bouncing your fly into the mud.
