What an interesting Sunday afternoon! Karen and I arrived at West Lake at 12:30 pm. We were surprised to see it was not busy! We meet up with my buddy Doug and he had been having success with a Biscuit Blob and a Rusty Nail Chironomid. Well after catching a few trout and seeing a few throat samples, we changed the chironomid to an olive and copper. Basically an olive thread chironomid with a copper wire rib and copper bead. It worked great. There were a lot of caddis adults on the water and the trout were gulping them. I changed to stripping flashback pheasant tails. I connected with 8 rainbows doing this while Karen switched to a Tokaryk Special when the chironomid action slowed. Karen did well with the Tokaryk Special on her tippet. The best news was the water temperature was 59F and clear.
