Fishing Tips:
Fly fishermen do extremely well here fishing from float tubes and pontoon boats. Some flies that work very well are olive, brown or black wooly buggers or leech patterns, nymphs such as pheasant tails, or at times dry flies as well.Bait fishermen do well with Powerbait©, worms or small whole minnows.
Trollers often do very well as well, using rapalas, flatfish, needlefish, wedding rings and many other trolling lures.
