Sunday Afternoon at Dickson

 It was busy along the shore today at Dickson. Little to no wind on a sunny but smokey afternoon. By the time Karen and I got there it was noon and the parking lot was full. Most people were bank fishers.

We launched the pram and looked for some mid lake structure to fly fish! That ended up being an excellent strategy. The water was 64 F and still looking great. Our best fly was a Tokaryk Special and a Glen's Leech. We did catch some on chromies and olive and copper chironomids.

Throat samples were all over the map. Daphnia, chironomids, leeches and cased caddis.

I did strip flashbacks for a while and connected with several trout! We did see lots of adult damsels and dragon flies and a few caddis just off of the surface.

Take a look at the throat samples. They certainly help you decide what flies to present. We fished mainly in 12 to 13 feet of water setting our depth around 10 feet!



Mid lake humps can have active fish feeding!


Cased Caddis!
