Fly Fishing - Pass Lake

Reports over the weekend were fairly good for the fly guys fishing Pass Lake. There seemed to be good numbers of fish caught in the 14 - 21 inch range. The individuals that I talked with were doing well fishing leech patterns on a type 2 sinking line. Most were anchoring up and casting parallel to the drop offs or weed lines, casting out and counting down so that they were fishing just off the bottom or the tops of the weeds. A slow hand retrieve on the fly seemed to do the trick. Others were productive fishing chirnomids just off the bottom utilizing strike indicators.

Most fish that we heard of were rainbows with an occasional brown trout thrown in.

With the improvement in the weather we should start seeing a little dry fly action. Look for a little may fly hatch or if you hit it correctly the flying black ants.
