if your fishing wet flies, use olive green or black wooly buggers, or a similar leech pattern

if your dry fly fishing i have had lots of success with adams pattern mosquitos and black gnats.

fish in there are smaller >16" so use smaller hooks if available

Had a 15 fish day there a while back. Red doc spratley, and olive tom thumb. Used a crane fly imitation, which the bows wouldn't touch, but all the cutties near the shore loved it. I like the north east end of the lake. There is a visable tree coming out of the water, and a gid hangout for the fish. Trolling back and forth through that area. When the evening rises start, the north side bank produces lots. Also had god luck with a size 12 hopper one night. Leechs also work, but my go to is the red spratley.
