With the biggest storm of the year pushing through the area, this is an excellent week to get out to the lake. Midges under an indicator have still been out-fishing any other fly or presentation. They will likely continue to do so until the fish migrate back into deeper water some time in late April or early May. We haven’t found the need to go small on these midges just yet, especially this week with the stormy days present, typically a size 10-12 is hard to go wrong with. Once fish begin to consistently come into the shallows, the strip bite will be a really fun change of pace, and may out-perform the midge on some days. Until then we encourage you to have a good stock of midges in sizes 10-12 with a good variety of colors to match their mood on any given day.
