There are still some pretty good callebaetis hatches and chironomids should start to come in play as well soon. Fish between weed beds and "columns", look for openings in the weeds. Shore fishing has turned on a bit and we are seeing increased success from the bank. Being in some kind of watercraft is still the most ideal method. Fish are feeding opportunistically all over the lake. Static nymphing and slow stripping chironomids(very early), callebaetis, damsels, wooly buggers and leeches have been effective. Recommended Patterns: Candyshop callebaetis, #14-16, Damsel nymphs #12-16, Shroeders Callebaetis #14-16, Poxyback Callebaetis #14-16, Gallops callebaetis, #14-16, Scuds, orange, pink, and green #12-18, Egg patterns #14-16, Mayers Radiant jig mini leach, black, brown, Wooly buggers-brown, black, purple, olive #6-12, #14-16, Squirrel leaches, black, brown, olive #14-16, Chironomids-red, black #14-20, Zebra midge-black & red, #16-20, Balanced leaches, red, black, purple, green #10-16. Streamers: Stay to the rule of muted colors on bright days and flashier colors on cloudy days. Pike Bunnies, Double Gonga's, and larger articulated flies are periodically taking tiger Muskie.
