BAIT: Worms, powerbait, micetails and pinched crawlers .
LURES: Red/gold Buoyant, small gold Kastmaster, Gold Super Duper 501, O gold Mepps, 'Lil Jake gold/red dots and occasional Rapala.
FLY AND BUBBLE: Adams Parachute, mosquito #16-18, black gnat para #14-26, Griffith's Gnat, or any small dark flies. Also try a Grey Hackel Yellow, and grey hackle peacock.
FLY RODS: Streamers, dark and blue adult damsels , hoppers, prince nymph, and emergers. Great hatches the last few days, dark mayflies (duns), with midges overwhelming the hatch. Also try the X-Caddis without a dropper, even some BH black woolly buggers, and crystal flashy buggers. Bring it all. Tie it on and you'll probably do well. You will have a problem catching so patience is probably something you need to put in your tackle bag. THE WATER IS TOO WARM, try Big Virginia and fish deep.
BACKCOUNTRY: Blue and Cooney have been producing brook trout on small mosquitoes, Griffith's gnats, and grey hackle yellow's. Most are using fly and bubble or worms. Barbless hooks are recommended to protect the resource since these lakes have not been air stocked in some time.
NOTE: If the trout bleeds don’t throw it back into the lake, it will die. If you care about the resource please be careful when releasing fish back into the water, and IT ATTRACKS BEARS.
