Fishing this week has been on and off. I believe this is due to a waxing to full moon and also fast moving storms that have pushed through our area. Fortunately, we have a few storms lined up in the new year, and this consistently should really increase the bite out at the lake. 

We have been focusing mostly on the indicator bite, but we have had some very productive days retrieving Boobies when the indicator bite is slow. White or black or both colors have been working for the Booby and dark Balanced Leeches are still my go to fly for the indicator, though the midge bite should begin to increase in the near future. 

Flies we suggest: Boobies (Spanish Olive, Cat Whisker, Diablo), Pyramid Lake Beetle, Bellyache Minnow, Jans Tui-Chub, Balanced Leech, Holographic Midge
