Lake Lenice - Fly Fishing







The Jackson group was over to Lake Lenice this past weekend. Stephen said that the fishing was a little on the tough side as the fish were feeding on very small Chironomids and even with his extensive selection of flies found himself tying some downsized bugs in order to be productive. The fish that he stomach pumped were all full of 18 -20 sized chrome with black rib and tanish headed Chironomids. Once he got this figured out and tied some appropriate flies the action improved. He said the fishing was as tough as he had had at this popular selective fishery lake. Besides the small bugs 6X tippet was needed in order to get the bite.

In the evening the fish switched from the pupae to emergers just under the surface film. Despite his best efforts he could just not figure out what the fish wanted.

The catch was an assortment of predominately rainbows with an odd brown and tiger trout thrown in for something different.
